REAR WINDOW (1954)

The shock wave ruptured the eardrums of sailors 40 miles away.

The explosion was heard more than 3,000 miles away, and recorded all over the world.

Three hours later, something explodes outside. Propane tank? Car fire? Some jackass with illegal firecrackers?

People here are funny. They work so hard at living they forget how to live.
