Rear Window
Movie • 1954 • Drama
ReportProfessional photographer L.B. 'Jeff' Jeffries breaks his leg while getting an action shot at an auto race. Confined to his New York apartment, he spends his time looking out of the rear window observing the neighbors. When he begins to suspect that a man across the courtyard may have murdered his wife, Jeff enlists the help of his high society fashion-consultant girlfriend and his visiting nurse to investigate.

There are several scenes where Jeffries tries tries to convince people to connect the dots of what he believes he sees unfolding. They are skeptical and suggest that he’s too involved, allude to him having had headaches, etc. I would not say it’s directly gaslighting per se, but worth noting in case it’s a particularly sensitive trigger. It is more or less reasonable skepticism, if a bit snarky at times.

A man watches his neighbors. This isn't inherently stalking, especially given the context of the movie.

A dead dog is shown. Its lifeless body is carried up by its owners. It's pretty obviously fake, but still a very sad scene.

not technically.
**description of scene below**
a neighbor in a window (at a distance but still visible) who is very lonely finally gets a date, who proceeds to forcibly kiss her, grope her, shove her to the sofa and presumably proceed to attempt to rape her. she is able to fight him off, hit him, and drive him from her apartment, whereupon she bursts into tears. it's a very sad scene.

Kind of a gray area. The wheelchair-bound character only has a temporary disability; a broken leg that is almost ready for the cast to come off. It's a bit less egregious than an able-bodied person playing a permanently disabled character, as the character is normally able-bodied too.

I'd say not really. While the cops save the day in the end, the police detective character spends most of the movie doubting the main character's suspicions and not treating the case seriously. It's only due to the involvement of Lisa, Jeff, and the nurse that the killer is apprehended.
