The movie Rear Window was filmed on an indoor set [View all]
The set design for Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window is one of the most iconic in film history, serving as a single, self-contained location for nearly the entire story.
Built on a Paramount soundstage, this meticulously crafted Greenwich Village courtyard was one of the largest indoor sets ever made at the time. It included 31 fully furnished apartments, 12 of which were fully functional with working electricity, running water, and detailed interiors. The set had a Manhattan skyline plus intricate urban details like fire escapes, laundry lines, and shadowy alleys.
Another fun little tidbit: The soundtrack was all ambient sound emminating from the court yard.
