====''Dial M for Murder'' and ''Rear Window''==== [[File:Rearwindow trailer 2.jpg|thumb|left|alt= Still image from the film Read Window featuring Stewart and Kelly|[[James Stewart]] and [[Grace Kelly]] in ''[[Rear Window]]'' (1954)]] ''I Confess'' was followed by three colour films starring [[Grace Kelly]]: ''[[Dial M for Murder]]'' (1954), ''[[Rear Window]]'' (1954) and ''[[To Catch a Thief]]'' (1955). In ''Dial M for Murder'', [[Ray Milland]] plays the villain who tries to murder his unfaithful wife (Kelly) for her money. She kills the hired assassin in self-defence, so Milland manipulates the evidence to make it look like murder. Her lover, Mark Halliday ([[Robert Cummings]]), and Police Inspector Hubbard ([[John Williams (actor)|John Williams]]) save her from execution.<ref name="Leitch 2002. p. 78-80">{{harvnb|Leitch|2002|p=78}}</ref> Hitchcock experimented with [[3-D film|3D cinematography]] for ''Dial M for Murder''.<ref>{{cite news |last1=French |first1=Philip |title=Dial M for Murder 3D β review |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/jul/28/dial-m-for-murder-3d-review |work=The Observer |date=28 July 2013|access-date=30 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160722232944/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/jul/28/dial-m-for-murder-3d-review|archive-date=22 July 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> <!--when did he move to Paramount?{{snd}}Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, The Trouble with Harry (1955), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959), Psycho (1960)-->Hitchcock moved to [[Paramount Pictures]] and filmed ''[[Rear Window]]'' (1954), starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly, as well as [[Thelma Ritter]] and [[Raymond Burr]]. Stewart's character is a photographer named Jeff (based on [[Robert Capa]]) who must temporarily use a wheelchair. Out of boredom, he begins observing his neighbours across the courtyard, then becomes convinced that one of them (Raymond Burr) has murdered his wife. Jeff eventually manages to convince his policeman buddy ([[Wendell Corey]]) and his girlfriend (Kelly). As with ''Lifeboat'' and ''Rope'', the principal characters are depicted in confined or cramped quarters, in this case Stewart's studio apartment. Hitchcock uses close-ups of Stewart's face to show his character's reactions, "from the comic voyeurism directed at his neighbours to his helpless terror watching Kelly and Burr in the villain's apartment".<ref>{{harvnb|Leitch|2002|p=269}}</ref>
