Review of Rope (1948) by Andrew I — 10 Jul 2010
Undoubtedly clever, plot-wise, direction-wise and especially the way much of it is filmed in very long flowing shots, but whether it's really enjoyable is another matter. It fits in comfortably well with other early colour Hitchcocks of the era, so if you like Dial M For Murder, Vertigo, North By Northwest, you'll probably like this, but I can't say that I did really.
It's more of an exercise, almost an experimental film, rather than entertainment per se.
