530 Rear Window (1954)
- DIRCAMEO(Alfred Hitchcock): about an hour into the film, winding the
clock in the songwriter's apartment. The songwriter is real-life songwriter
'Ross Bagdasariam' (qv).
- At the time the set was the largest indoor set built at Paramount Studios.
- The song ``To See You is to Love You'' is playing when Jeff toasts
Ms. Lonely Hearts.
- The film was unavailable for decades because its rights (together with four
other pictures of the same periods') were bought back by Hitchcock and left
as part of his legacy to his daughter. They've been known for long as the
infamous ``5 lost Hitchcocks'' amongst film buffs, and were re-released in
theathers around 1984 after a 30-years absence. They are
"Rear Window (1954)" (qv), "The Trouble with Harry (1955)" (qv),
"Rope (1948)" (qv), "Vertigo (1958)" (qv) and
"The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)" (qv).
- Hitchcock supposedly hired 'Raymond Burr' (qv) to play Lars Thorwald
because he could be easily made to look like his old producer
'David O. Selznick' (qv), whom Hitchcock felt interfered too much.
- Other than a couple of shots near the end and the discovery of the dead
dog all the shots in the movie originate from Jeff's apartment
