Season 2: Episode 67 - ALFRED HITCHCOCK: Rear Windows (1954)

Rear Window (1954)

 

Based on the short story, It Had To Be Murder by Cornell Woolrich, with script written by John Michael Hayes and directed by Alfred Hitchcock.  This film is considered one of the  greatest films ever made.

​

The film is filmed entirely on a purpose built set which was the largest of kind with a massive drainage system to accommodate the rain.  The actors would all stay on set through all of filming living their lives in their flats as their characters.

 

The film stars James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Thelma Ritter and Raymond Burr.
