As part of the Greenwich Odeum’s Centennial Celebration, we present Rear Window. The evening is hosted by Steven Feinberg, the Executive Director of the Rhode Island TV & Film office, who provides a brief perspective on the film’s history, influence, and enduring relevance. Experience a century of cinema through one of its most unforgettable works.Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Rear Window stars James Stewart and Grace Kelly in one of cinema’s most suspenseful thrillers.
Confined to his apartment after breaking his leg, professional photographer L.B. “Jeff” Jeffries passes the time observing his neighbors through a shared courtyard window. What begins as harmless curiosity soon darkens when he notices unsettling behavior from a salesman across the way and begins to suspect that a murder has taken place.
Unable to leave his chair, Jeff draws his glamorous fiancée Lisa Fremont and his sharp-witted nurse Stella into his investigation, transforming them from spectators into active participants in a growing mystery. Told almost entirely from Jeff’s limited point of view, the film builds tension through glances, shadows, and fragments of everyday life, pulling the audience into Jeff’s obsessive gaze.
Elegant, tightly constructed, and irresistibly voyeuristic, Rear Window is a masterclass in suspense, a film that proves sometimes the most dangerous thing is simply watching.
