Tagline: Through his rear window and the eye of his powerful camera he watched a great city tell on itself, expose its cheating ways…and Murder!

Trivia: Raymond Burr, who plays Lars Thorwald, coincidentally went on to play Robert Ironside in the “Ironside” (1967) series. Ironside is a wheelchair-bound detective, something LB Jeffries (James Stewart) is not far from being.

Goofs: Audio/visual unsynchronized: At 00.52.52: When Jefferies’ nurse goes to the door saying she’s going to find out the name of the freight carrier that is taking off with the trunk, someone who sounds nothing like Jimmy Stewart has dubbed him with the peculiar sounding line “I’ll keep an eye on the alley”. Jimmy Stewart is holding the binoculars over his mouth but we can see that he’s not moving his lips! Prior to that, when he says “don’t do anything foolish” his lips are still moving after the audio is heard.
