鈥淲rong Window,鈥� by Billy Van Zandt & Jane Milmore, is a spoof of Alfred Hitchcock鈥檚 film 鈥淩ear Window.鈥� New York couple Jeff and Marnie enter a challenging phase of their relationship when they believe they see their neighbor kill his wife. Once the wife goes 鈥渕issing,鈥� suspicion spreads as the couple and their neighbors sneak in and out of the apartment. Among door slammings, body snatchings and a frantic flashlight chase, two questions remain. Who killed Lila Larswald? And if she鈥檚 not dead, who is?
