Rope - 1948

A classic masterpiece by Alfred Hitchcock, Rope is still one of most watched creations of the director. This creation of Hitchcock is the adaptation of a play by Patrick Hamilton.

Brandon Shaw (John Dall) and Phillip Morgan (Farley Granger), both Manhattan intellectual decided to commit the "perfect murder". David, an associate became the victim of their foul play. David was chocked to death by Brandon and Phillip. They decided to display arrogance by not dumping the body secretly but to play a bigger game. The duo put David's corpse inside a giant trunk and invited all their friends and associates to a dinner party. The trunk was substituted as a table top. Food and drinks were served on top of David's grave. Brandon started to get a 'kick' out of the situation while Philip begun to feel nervous and extremely guilt ridden due to their heinous act.

This 80 minute flick is full of suspense, thrill and drama. Completely shoot inside an apartment, this movie gives an unique taste of treatment of Hitchcock. The actors have really shown great acting skills in this flick. A must watch for all "classic lovers" and Hitchcock admirers.
