arguably Alfred Hitchcock&#8217;s most sophisticated film, hinges on a simple plot: a wheelchair-using man obsessed with watching his neighbors becomes convinced that he has just witnessed a murder. Like its main character, L.B. Jeffries played by Jimmy Stewart, we&#8217;re engrossed by the tenants living inside their apartments in &#8220;Rear Window.&#8221; The movie frames each neighbor inside a neat diorama, each representing a slice of the various stages of urban life. There&#8217;s the buxom dancer who entertains a rotating roster of beaus in her studio, a couple of fresh-faced newlyweds, a lonely old maid, and the possibly psychotic husband who may have killed his wife.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As amusing or chilling as these vignettes may be, none are as captivating as the woman inside Jeffries&#8217; own apartment, Lisa Fremont. Played by the gorgeous Grace Kelly, her blonde bob candescent even in the depressing light of Jeffries&#8217; studio, and her elegant figure draped in Edith Head ensembles, she lights up &#8220;Rear Window&#8221; with a cool sensuality. Though Kelly emerged as a Hitchcock muse, it wasn&#8217;t the thriller maestro who brought her to the picture.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fashioning_Kellys_role\"><\/span>Fashioning Kelly&#8217;s role<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"slide-key image-holder gallery-image-holder credit-image-wrap  \" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-post-id=\"929468\">\n<picture><source media=\"(min-width: 429px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/img\/gallery\/alfred-hitchcock-cant-take-credit-for-grace-kellys-rear-window-role\/fashioning-kellys-role-1657906971.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><source media=\"(max-width: 428px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/img\/gallery\/alfred-hitchcock-cant-take-credit-for-grace-kellys-rear-window-role\/fashioning-kellys-role-1657906971.sm.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image lazyload \" bad-src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/img\/gallery\/alfred-hitchcock-cant-take-credit-for-grace-kellys-rear-window-role\/fashioning-kellys-role-1657906971.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/929468\/alfred-hitchcock-cant-take-credit-for-grace-kellys-rear-window-role\/slide\/fashioning-kellys-role\/\" data-post-id=\"929468\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-slide-title=\"Alfred Hitchcock Can't Take Credit For Grace Kelly's Rear Window Role: Fashioning Kelly's role\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" alt=\"Grace Kelly stars in &quot;Dial M for Murder&quot;\"\/><br \/>\n                            <\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n                                                                                <span class=\"gallery-image-credit\">Warner Bros. <\/span>                                 <\/div>\n<div class=\"columns-holder  added-content\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/publishing.cdlib.org\/ucpressebooks\/view?docId=ft138nb0zm&amp;chunk.id=d0e9022&amp;toc.depth=1&amp;toc.id=&amp;brand=eschol\">interview with Susan Green<\/a>, &#8220;Rear Window&#8221; screenwriter John Michael Hayes recounted how he joined Hitchcock on the film. Hayes had an ear for dialogue after working on the radio shows &#8220;Suspense&#8221; and &#8220;The Adventures of Sam Spade.&#8221; Hitchcock was a fan of both programs and was searching for someone who could craft a screenplay from Cornell Woolrich&#8217;s short story, &#8220;<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sjsu.edu\/people\/edwin.sams\/courses\/c5\/s0\/woolrich.pdf\">It Had To Be a Murder<\/a>.&#8221; The story had almost all the elements of what would become &#8220;Rear Window&#8221;: the voyeuristic protagonist, the murder, even the way the neighbors were framed by &#8220;windows square.&#8221; What it was missing was a bit of romance. That&#8217;s where Hayes interjected:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There was no girl in the original. I created the part. Hitch had done &#8216;Dial M for Murder&#8217; with Grace Kelly, and she was beautiful in that film; but there was no life, no sparkle there. He asked me what we should do with her for &#8216;Rear Window,&#8217; so I spent time with her for about a week. My wife, Mel, was a successful fashion model, so I gave Grace my wife&#8217;s occupation in the film. The way the character posed, the dialogue \u2014 it reflected actual incidents in our life.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_alive_vital_girl\"><\/span>An alive, vital girl<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"slide-key image-holder gallery-image-holder credit-image-wrap  \" data-slide-num=\"2\" data-post-id=\"929468\">\n<picture><source media=\"(min-width: 429px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/img\/gallery\/alfred-hitchcock-cant-take-credit-for-grace-kellys-rear-window-role\/an-alive-vital-girl-1657906971.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><source media=\"(max-width: 428px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/img\/gallery\/alfred-hitchcock-cant-take-credit-for-grace-kellys-rear-window-role\/an-alive-vital-girl-1657906971.sm.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image lazyload \" bad-src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/img\/gallery\/alfred-hitchcock-cant-take-credit-for-grace-kellys-rear-window-role\/an-alive-vital-girl-1657906971.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/929468\/alfred-hitchcock-cant-take-credit-for-grace-kellys-rear-window-role\/slide\/an-alive-vital-girl\/\" data-post-id=\"929468\" data-slide-num=\"2\" data-slide-title=\"Alfred Hitchcock Can't Take Credit For Grace Kelly's Rear Window Role: An alive, vital girl\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" alt=\"Grace Kelly Rear Window\"\/><br \/>\n                            <\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n                                                                                <span class=\"gallery-image-credit\">Paramount<\/span>                                 <\/div>\n<div class=\"columns-holder \">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hayes&#8217; wife inspired the career for Kelly&#8217;s character and his own humor informed her quips to Jeffries. But it was Kelly herself who gave her character, Lisa Fremont, her vivaciousness. Hayes <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/offscreen.com\/view\/hitchcock-kelly\">spent a week and a half at Kelly&#8217;s home<\/a> to get to know her and write her character. In &#8220;<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Life-Loves-Grace-Kelly\/dp\/1861057849?tag=slashfilmcom-20\">The Life and Loves of Grace Kelly<\/a>,&#8221; Hayes says he discovered a woman who was more complex and lively than the one she played in &#8220;Dial M for Murder.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t get over the difference between her personal animation and, if I may say so, her sexuality. There was an alive, vital girl underneath that demure quiet fa\u00e7ade. She had an inner life aching to be expressed.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hayes&#8217; decision to craft a part for Kelly proved ingenious. Although Kelly looms large in pop culture, she is, after all, the namesake behind Herm\u00e8s&#8217; &#8220;Kelly bag,&#8221; and she only starred in a few films for less than a decade before abandoning Hollywood for Monaco. Critics often regard &#8220;Rear Window&#8221; as her best role. Where she is beautiful but one-dimensional in &#8220;Dial M for Murder,&#8221; she&#8217;s a delight to watch alongside Stewart. Kelly&#8217;s Fremont is poised yet adventurous, she scales an apartment wall in a full skirt and heels, refined yet brimming with sexuality. And in a departure from previous Kelly roles, she has a sense of humor and is not afraid to go head-to-head with Stewart&#8217;s gruff character. She embodied Hitchcock&#8217;s vision of the perfect woman and one that would become the foundation for &#8220;<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/annehelenpetersen\/jennifer-lawrence-and-the-history-of-cool-girls\">the cool girl<\/a>&#8221; archetype: a woman possessing a rarified air that onlookers would never suspect wants sex but is paradoxically all about it. It&#8217;s the kind of performance where you just don&#8217;t want to look away.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
