Rope, a classic Hitchcock thriller

Rope is a classic Hitchcock thriller starring James Stewart. Synopsis: two young men kill prep-school friend, just for the thrill of it, and challenge themselves by inviting friends and family to their apartment afterward—with the body hidden on the premises. Hitchcock's first color film was shot in ten-minute takes to provide a seamless flow of movement, but it remains today what it was then: an interesting, highly theatrical experiment. Inspired by the real-life Leopold-Loeb murder case. Patrick Hamilton's play was adapted by Hume Cronyn and scripted by Arthur Laurents.
