Rear Window (Das Fenster zum Hof)

Jeff (James Stewart) is a press photographer who is confined to a wheelchair and his flat due to a broken leg. To escape the boredom, he observes the neighbourhood from his window overlooking the courtyard and gets to know it from all sides. His girlfriend Lisa (Grace Kelly) is not very enthusiastic at first, but in the end her curiosity gets the better of her. When the two of them observe some oddities in the life of their neighbour across the street, Mr Thorwald (Raymond Burr), they begin to suspect that something is wrong with his wife. Jeff senses murder and from now on doesn't take his eyes off the backyard for a second.
