Factual error: Jeff has been in a full-leg cast for a broken leg for seven weeks, staying in his apartment most of that time. He tells his boss that he has one more week before the cast is removed and he can then immediately go back on assignment as a photojournalist. By this time, he should have been transferred to a walking cast and be using crutches instead of confined to a wheelchair and still wearing the full leg cast that goes up to and around his waist.
Rear Window (1954)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Thelma Ritter, Wendell Corey
Continuity mistake: There's an oscillating fan near the ceiling that alternates between running and not running from one cut to another in one scene.
Stella: When I married Miles, we were both a couple of maladjusted misfits. We are still maladjusted misfits, and we have loved every minute of it.
Trivia: If you look closely in one of the shots looking at the musician's pad you can see Hitchcock making a cameo like he does in all his movies. If you pay attention however, you might notice that this is a reenactment of a scene from one of his other movies, 'Rope.' Also, Hitchcock is standing in for James Stewart and the character he played in 'Rope' since Mr. Stewart is busy spying on this scene. (00:26:15)
Question: What was in the hat box in the garden?
Chosen answer: I think her head was in the hat box after he dug it up from the garden where the dog was digging under the marigolds.
