Rope is an absolutely brilliant Hitchcock classic, and rates in my tp 5 Hitchcock films... Most people think that Rope is too static and a little boring and slow paced.. i think quite the reverse... it is a masterpiece !! The whole film is set in one appartment, that for a start is genius !! then there are some absolutely fantastic shots... the best being the kitchen scene where the door swings open the shut to reveal Brandon dropping the rope into the drawer !!! very clever shot !!
Apart of the editing and filming being fantastic... the actors are fantastic, and very well cast !! Farley Granger is fantastic as weak Phillip Morgan who can't handle the guilt of killing their school mate... and John Dall is excellent as the confident and opinionated Brandon !!! But by far the best cast actor in that film, is the ever wonderful James Stewart as Rupert Cadell !! his whole attitude and manner are absolutely fantastic, and his finishing speech after discovering the body is definitely worth a listen !!!
I would certainly recommend this film because it's brilliant, a wonderful Hitchcock film which deserves a lot more praise that it gets !!!
a must see !
