Odeum Classic Films: Rear Window

As part of the Greenwich Odeum’s Centennial Celebration, we present Rear Window, a cornerstone of the past 100 years of filmmaking. The evening is hosted by Steven Feinberg, the Executive Director of the Rhode Island TV & Film office, who provides a brief perspective on the film’s history, influence, and enduring relevance. Experience a century of cinema through one of its most unforgettable works. Rear Window is a masterful suspense thriller centered on L.B. Jeffries, a professional photographer confined to his apartment with a broken leg. Passing the time by watching his neighbors through their windows, Jeffries becomes convinced he has witnessed a murder. With the help of his glamorous girlfriend Lisa Fremont and his nurse Stella, he pieces together clues while battling skepticism and moral doubt. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly, and Thelma Ritter, the film transforms everyday voyeurism into a tense meditation on obsession and trust. A true classic of cinema.
