Described by many as a cinematic treasure, don’t miss this chance to see Hitchcock’s voyeuristic masterpiece on the big screen.
The weather is getting hotter, and photographer L.B. Jefferies (Jimmy Stewart) is stuck in his apartment with a broken leg and nothing to do but spy on his neighbours. There’s an attractive and scantily clad dancer, a songwriter, a lonely woman, and the Thorwalds, a bickering couple, amongst others. When Mrs. Thorwald disappears, Jefferies is sure that something’s wrong. Where did she go? What’s in the trunk that the salesman ships away? What’s he been doing with the knives and the saw that he cleans at the kitchen sink? Soon, despite the warnings of his girlfriend, Lisa (Grace Kelly), and his motherly nurse, Stella (Thelma Ritter), Jefferies has out his binoculars and telephoto lens and is studying his neighbour “like a bug under glass.” However, looking in from the outside might not be as safe as Jefferies assumes.
