Rear Window is a nice little crime drama/thriller about an injured man living in NYC during a summer heatwave in the 1950s that thinks he spotted a domestic murder while looking out his window. His girlfriend, an assistant and a detective buddy all, at first, think he's wrong but the evidence mounts. Other stories play out in this slice of life, but James Stewart and Grace Kelly's tale is one of love and the lingering suspicion that something happened in the apartment across from his/theirs. A decent film.
Continuity mistake: When Miss Lonelyheart brings home a younger man, she slaps him on the left side of his face, but when he leaves and stands outside her door, he rubs the right side as if it hurts.
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)
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.
You are correct that it was her head.
