An Alfred Hitchcock large photographic archive from Rear Window
Paramount Pictures, 1954. Comprising approximately 166 silver gelatin photographs, the majority of which are 8 x 10 in., with one signed ('Raymond Burr'); an 8 x 10 in. color transparency; two 4 x 5 in. color transparencies; and two 4 x 5 in. black-and-white candid shots. Many of the photos are doubleweight keybook stills, and many have informational snipes and stamps on the reverse. Photographer represented and/or attributed to is Bud Fraker. When the massive and murderous Raymond Burr catches Grace Kelly prowling in his apartment, the tone is set for suspense in Hitchcock's masterpiece starring Jimmy Stewart. Stewart plays a temporarily immobile photographer whose boredom at home leads him to spy on his neighbors with a telephoto lens. His curiosity puts both his life and that of his love interest, Kelly, in danger. This comprehensive archive features photos of Hitchcock directing, Kelly and Stewart clowning on the set, behind-the-scenes filming, several candid shots of Jimmy Stewart with his family during the time he was filming Rear Window, scene stills, portraits of the other cast members including Raymond Burr, Thelma Ritter, Georgine Darcy, and Wendell Corey, glamour and candid portraits of Kelly, and much more.
