Jefferies attempts to get his friend Lisa (Kelly) to believe that the neighbor was murdered.
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.
