The later Princess of Monaco didn\u2019t get the role in the movie \u201cTaxi\u201c but she soon got the chance to play under Hitchcock\u2019s directorship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three films Hitchcock made with Grace Kelly as the leading lady were &#8220;Dial &#8216;M&#8217; for Murder&#8221; (1954), &#8220;Rear Window&#8221; (1954) and &#8220;To Catch a Thief&#8221; (1955).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"three-motifs\"><strong>Three motifs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In \u201cRear Window\u201c, which is considered one of Alfred Hitchcock\u2019s masterpieces, there are three motifs that lend the film its unique character: voyeurism as one of the motifs comes in at the very beginning of the film \u2013 the photographer L. B. Jefferies, incapacitated by a leg injury, sits in his apartment and watches from his window what the other residents in his apartment building are doing. There is \u201cMiss Lonelyhearts\u201c, who is lonely and longs for someone to love, but simply can\u2019t find happiness in love. Then there is a good-looking dancer who is waiting for her lover to return from the army.<br>L. B. Jefferies is especially interested in Mr. Thorwald and his wife, who is in need of care and who suddenly disappears mysteriously\u2026&nbsp;<br>With Thorwald and his disappeared wife, the second motif comes into focus right at the beginning of the film: the crime story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"manhattinate\"><strong>Manhattinate<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In \u201cRear Window\u201c, Grace Kelly plays Manhattinate Lisa Carol Fremont, who is engaged to Jefferies. But there is also potential for conflict between the two New Yorkers: when Lisa longs for Jefferies physical closeness, he prefers to deal with the mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Thorwald rather than with his fianc\u00e9e. In addition, the different characters of Lisa and Jefferies cause further relationship conflicts, which as a third motif enliven the plot of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow far does a girl have to go before you notice her?\u201c, Manhattinate Lisa asks her fianc\u00e9 at the beginning. How far Lisa is actually willing to go becomes apparent in the course of the film\u2026 <br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/simonvonludwig.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Simon von Ludwig<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read another article by Der Bussard on Grace Kelly<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/der-bussard.de\/en\/2020\/05\/08\/grace-kelly-actress-princess\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grace Kelly \u2014 Actress and princess<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cover picture: Grace Kelly in September 1972, \u00a9 Hans Peters \/ Anefo, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/deed.en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CC0 1.0<\/a>, taken from <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Prinses_Gracia_van_Monaco_doopt_op_Floriade_een_lelie,_Bestanddeelnr_925-8823.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The book \u201cGrace Kelly \u2013 Film Stills\u201c (German) published by Schirmer Mosel served as main source.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The actress and later princess of Monaco Grace de Monaco (before her marriage she was called Grace Kelly) stood in front of a film camera &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[123,3],"tags":[29,32,15,28,60,45,59],"class_list":["post-140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grace-kelly","category-movie","tag-actress","tag-alfred-hitchcock","tag-culture","tag-grace-kelly","tag-james-stewart","tag-movie","tag-tv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Manhattinate \u2014 Grace Kelly in \u201cRear Window\u201c &#8211; Der Bussard | EN<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Through a camera test, which Grace Kelly was asked to make for the film \u201cTaxi\u201c (1953), the \u201cMaster of Suspense\u201c, Alfred Hitchcock became aware of the young actress.
