Rear Window

Movie • 1954 • Drama  

Report
Professional photographer L.B. 'Jeff' Jeffries breaks his leg while getting an action shot at an auto race.

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.

You dont see him die, and the dog is quite clearly fake. There is a speech by the owner thats very emotional right after that

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

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.

The main character's leg is already broken at the start of the film. Another leg is broken at the end of the film, and you see it.
