Rear Window

In the film Rear Window (1954) by Alfred Hitchcock, the audience is placed in the shoes of the main character L.B. Jefferies (James Stewart) who is confined to a wheelchair with plenty of time on his hands to spy on his neighbors. This suspense film had a romantic feeling to it by the romance between  L.B. Jefferies and Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly). In the film, Jefferies believes he witnessed his neighbor, Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr), from across the street murder his wife but nobody wants to believe him, events transpire in the film that make the people around Jefferies believe that Thorwald did murder his wife. Jefferies, Fremont, and his nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter) hatch a plan to go investigate Thorwald's apartment for clues to find out if Thorwald did murder his wife, but by doing so they put their own lives in danger. When Thorwald goes to Jefferies' apartment to confront him, Jefferies uses his camera and the flashbulbs as weapons against Thorwald to blind him. That scene taking place in the dark with nothing but shadows and low lighting was done perfectly. Hitchcock was a master of suspense and this film showed it.
