Review of Rope (1948) by John A — 12 Feb 2015

Hitchcock's Rope, is based on the play of the same title, in which 2 students murder another student & then host a party with their victims parents & their former teacher. Originally based on a murder of a 13 year old boy by 2 wealthy teens.

The cast's performances are exceptional headed by James Stewart. The film is edited exceptionally well that the film does feel like a stage play, especially from its many long shots. A nicely paced psychological thriller that plays beautifully as a play as it's supposed to.
