      Rear Window, Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece from 1954, is a suspenseful thriller that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats right up to the very end. The movie is a fantastic illustration of Hitchcock's brilliant narrative and skilled camera work, which helped him become one of the all-time great directors. In the film Rear Window, James Stewart plays wheelchair-bound photographer L.B. Jeffries, who spends his days watching his neighbors from his apartment window. He sets out on a risky expedition to find the truth when he accuses one of them of killing their wife.     The use of camera work is among Rear Window's most memorable and creative elements. Hitchcock uses a variety of camera methods to portray Jeffries' viewpoint and heighten suspense throughout the whole movie.

The portrayal of Dr. Caligari as a sinister hyp...
