Rear Window, Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 thriller, captured many of the social anxieties of the Cold War era: paranoia, suspicion, surveillance. But it also ventured, on celluloid, into controversial territory: voyeurism, a daring subject for such sensitive, censorship-laden cinematic times. When most movie studios were making musicals and melodramas, Hitchcock crafted a suspenseful film about the thrill of spying on others. And though a grandiose Hollywood set was necessary to bring the auteur's vision to life, the main character never leaves his apartment.
