Rear Window (1954)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Thelma Ritter, Wendell Corey
Continuity mistake: James Stewart uses a camera flashgun to defend himself by repeatedly temporarily blinding Thorvald in the closing scene. The number of flashbulbs in the cardboard box drops by two between cuts as Stewart wheels himself back away from Thorwald.
Lisa: Where does a man get inspiration to write a song like that?
Jeff: He gets it from the landlady once a month.
Trivia: Alfred Hitchcock chose Raymond Burr to portray the villainous Lars Thorwald due to his resemblance of David O. Selznick, a producer Hitchcock hated.
Question: What was in the hat box in the garden?
