Jefferies, who is temporarily relying on a wheelchair in his Greenwich Village, Manhattan apartment.
Among Hitchcock's very best, Rear Window stars James Stewart as L. B. Jefferies, who is temporarily relying on a wheelchair in his Greenwich Village, Manhattan apartment. Jefferies regularly stares out of his rear window, which has a view of other apartments as well as the courtyard. One night, Jefferies observes that one of his neighbors is missing, and a man is cleaning a large knife in the man's apartment. Jefferies attempts to get his friend Lisa (Kelly) to believe that the neighbor was murdered.
