In this section, we look at short clips from 
films. This month: 
Rear Window
.
This 1954 
thriller
was directed by Alfred 
Hitchcock and stars James Stewart and 
Grace Kelly. Jeff Jeffries (played by Stewart) 
is a photographer who’s 
stuck
at home 
in a 
wheelchair
after breaking his leg. To 
pass the time, he 
spies on
his neighbours 
through his back window. One day, Jeff 
thinks he sees a murder in a neighbouring 
apartment. He decides to try to solve the 
mystery. In this scene, Jeff’s nurse (Stella) 
tries to convince him to 
settle down
and marry Lisa, his 
girlfriend.
