Worlds of Difference: The Architecture of Urbanism of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window"

Co-sponsored by The Museum of the City of New York. James Sanders' book, "Celluloid Skyline: New York and the Movies", contains a series of rare and unusual production stills, including the actual construction drawings of the great courtyard set built on Paramount's Stage 18. Sanders' talk will explore how Hitchcock's 1954 masterpiece "Rear Window" offers extraordinary insights into the shape and meaning of New York's architecture and urbanism - especially that of its traditional residential districts of the 1811 Commissioners Plan.

I'd be very curious to hear the reaction from NYC architecture & movie buffs.

I'd love to hear this - Rear Window is one of my favourite films - but I don't think I can make it from rural England!

I love watching through films to the locations - settings for films like Vertigo, The Birds from Hitchcock spring to mind.
