Hitchcock supposedly never looked through the viewfinder, but I am sure he
"composed" (but I don't quite know what that means without looking through
a viewfinder). Some of the extras on the "Rear Window" DVD include
interviews with the cameramen, who seem to have been adept at realizing
Hitchcock's vision. Much to admire in that, to say the least.
