The Magic Of Rope

I took the time to watch one of my favorite Hitchcock movies tonight, Rope.

Rope is famous for being shot in sequence and in real time on one set with a single camera.

After two friends kill another friend for no other reason than to pull off the perfect murder they host a party with the body hidden in the room, in fact dinner is served from his grave. What unfolds is a cat and mouse drama with James Stewart who comes to find the real meanings behind the words he teaches in college.

Loosely based on the Leopold and Loeb murder of Robert Franks in the 1920's, Rope serves as a reminder of how great a master filmmaker that Hitch really was.

Yeah I did try to pattern Locker after Rope in a very humble and failing fashion. The general idea anyway, the execution was mixed at best.

For a filmmaking school in a DVD box, pick up and enjoy Rope.
