Rear Window (1954 Alfred Hitchcock)

Cornell Woolrich's short story 'It Had To Be Murder' was published in 'Dime Detective Magazine' in August 1942 under the name William Irish*.

Georgine Darcy is Miss Torso.

Brilliantly put together soundtrack - when Kelly announces her name there's a discreet car horn punctuating each word. Sound recordist Loren Ryder was Oscar nominated (Howard Beals was apparently the sound editor), as were Burks, Hayes and Hitch. Kazan won for On The Waterfront. Stewart was not nominated.

*Yes, that's what Wikipedia says. But clearly on the magazine above is stated the name Cornell Woolrich.
