Rear Window #1954 one of my favorite sets ever designed. Rear Window’s apartment/courtyard set was almost 100 feet wide, 185 feet long, and 40 feet high. There were 31 total apartments in the set, and several of them were fully furnished with working plumbing and utilities. The set was actually too large to fit inside any studio space at Paramount. Hitchcock had the studio floors gutted for the purpose of making this set. The courtyard was actually below the basement of the studio (they dug deep enough to hit water), and Jeff’s apartment was at street level with the studio exterior #hitchcock #rearwindow #productiondesign #setdesign #filmmaking #setdecoration #JMcMillanJohnson #HalPereira #SamComer #RayMoyer
