In Alfred Hitchcock's film, Rear Window, the audience is confronted with the issues of privacy and loneliness. The movie takes place in New York City in the 1950's. The protagonist is a man named L.B. Jeffries, who is stuck with an injured leg, staring out from his apartment bedroom. Jeffries becomes increasingly suspicious of his neighbor, Lars Thorwald, when his wife seems to disappear. The audience, like Jeffries, is not sure if Thorwald has really murdered her. In a larger sense, Hitchcock seems to be saying that a certain amount of spying on each other is sometimes a good thing.
