Which Hitchcock film stars James Stewart as photographer L. B. Jefferies? Rear Window. Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 mystery thriller casts Stewart as Jeff Jefferies, a photojournalist confined to his Greenwich Village apartment after breaking his leg.

Unable to work, Jeff spends his recovery watching neighbors through the rear window. What begins as idle observation turns into suspicion when he believes a salesman, Lars Thorwald, has murdered his wife. Grace Kelly plays Lisa Fremont, Jeff's determined girlfriend, while Thelma Ritter appears as his nurse and confidante Stella.

The film is based on Cornell Woolrich's 1942 short story “It Had to Be Murder.” Hitchcock turns Jeff's restricted viewpoint into the movie's central formal device: viewers see only what Jeff can observe, making uncertainty and voyeurism part of the suspense.

A frequent mix-up is Vertigo, another major Stewart-Hitchcock collaboration. In Vertigo, Stewart plays retired detective John “Scottie” Ferguson; in Rear Window, he is the injured photographer investigating events across the courtyard.
