Categories: Entertainment | Movies | Classic Films Pre 1960 | Drama Movies

  • Rope is a 1948 classic Alfred Hitchcock suspense film about two men who commit a murder to show their preponderance. The film is adapted from the play Rope's End which was inspired by true events.

    Hitchcock used a long-take technique to a great extent in this film, continuously panning the camera, and masking the few cuts he did make.http://www.nytimes.com/1984/06/03/movies/hitchcock-s-rope-a-stunt-to-behold.html

    Rope was Alfred Hitchcock’s first color film and is noteworthy for the fact the two lead characters are gay.http://apolloguide.com/mov_fullrev.asp?CID=2938&Specific=856

  • Reviews

    Vincent Canby of the New York Times said, "Rope is not merely a stunt that is justified by the extraordinary career that contains it, but one of the movies that makes that career extraordinary."http://www.nytimes.com/library/film/060384hitch-rope-reflection.html

    "Rope is a complex and dazzlingly unique picture."—Christopher Nul of the AMChttp://www.filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/60e74e041ca9cd6b8625626f0062219f/8eab3b202889c843882569fe001f1cbe?OpenDocument

    "More experimental – and only partially successfully so – than revolutionary, Rope is an interesting but not entirely satisfying film."—Brian Webster of Apollo Movie Guidehttp://apolloguide.com/mov_fullrev.asp?CID=2938&Specific=856
