Failure to act

Well, Vertigo, certainly, although I suppose you could argue that the James Stewart character is, again, unable to act.

Who fails to act in Rear Window - is not Scotty quite upset and UNABLE to act? Does he not call his cop friend after witnessing the killing? Physical inability to act can't really be considered failure. None of Hitchcock's characters is passive or idle.
