Rear Window (1954)

This is a terrifically structured thriller.  L.B. is stranded in his third story courtyard facing apartment after breaking his legs on a photograph reporting job. After observing his neighbours for days, he suspects that a woman has been murdered and he believes he knows who the killer is. L.B.'s beautiful girlfriend is eager to prove how adventurous she is in order to convince him that she is worthy of marriage. Hitchcock locks us in the room as well as we peep into others windows.
