from his viewpoint we see the first few drops of rain starting to fall. it is sort, gentle rain, not a downpour. there are still some windows lit in the neighborhood. the apartment house corridors all have small night lights burning.
the camera pans slightly over the whole of the neighborhood. the lights in miss torso's apartment snap out. only one light remains. it burns behind the drawn shades of the salesman's apartment.
from jeff's viewpoint, all the windows are dark. the couple are sleeping on the fire escape. the salesman's apartment is dark as well. suddenly a match flares, and we see the salesman light a cigar. the flame of the match illuminates his face for a moment. when is dies out, we see just the glow of the cigar burning.
all we can see is the glow of the salesman's cigar.
we get a high comprehensive view of all the apartments.
we see thorwald leave his apartment and proceed down the corridor.
