Jeffries, who is stuck in his hot little city apartment after breaking his leg and finding himself in a wheelchair. Ever the inquisitive journalist, Jeffries spends his time keeping up (uh, kind of spying on \u2013 the binoculars seal the creep deal) with his neighbors in the other apartments around his courtyard, giving them each a name and backstory. His interest turns to one of his character\/neighbors, played by Raymond Burr, whom he becomes convinced has killed his nagging wife and disposed of her body.<\/p>\n<p><figure class=\"wp-block-image naviga-inline-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imengine.public.prod.dur.navigacloud.com\/?uuid=f94c8fa0-6a55-4ccf-8d62-da5d60a70cc2&amp;function=cover&amp;type=preview&amp;source=false&amp;width=2000\" alt=\"\u201cNorth By Northwest\u201d will be shown in August at Animas City Theatre as part of the Summer of Hitchcock series.\" class=\"naviga-image\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption><span class=\"caption\">\u201cNorth By Northwest\u201d will be shown in August at Animas City Theatre as part of the Summer of Hitchcock series.<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Rotten Tomatoes<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to do Hitchcock, always wanted to do a summer Hitchcock series,\u201d said Joanie Leonard, executive director of DIFF.<\/p>\n<p>The films will be shown the second Sunday of the month, unless a concert bumps the movies, Leonard said, adding that the series will not be held in November when a film celebrating Native American Heritage Month will be screened.

So many filmmakers have followed his vision and the way he made movies,\u201d Leonard said. \u201cYou could evoke so much emotion and terror and fear not by seeing what\u2019s happening but knowing what\u2019s going to happen. Like the shower scene in \u2018Psycho\u2019 \u2013 so many women didn\u2019t want to take showers after seeing that film even though you really didn\u2019t see the actual stabbing. He was just so unique. He is known as the master of suspense and there\u2019s a reason for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"mwc_shirttail\"><a href=\"mailto:katie@durangoherald.com\">katie@durangoherald.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"naviga-scoreboard\">\n<h4 class=\"scoreboard-title\">If you go<\/h4>\n<p><strong class=\"mwc_breakout_text_bold_leadin\">What:<\/strong><br>\n                Hitchcock Summer Film Series: \u201cRear Window,\u201d Sunday; \u201cNorth By Northwest,\u201d Aug. 11.
