Review of Rope (1948) by Ewan G — 24 Sep 2009
Couple kill old classmate, hide his body in a chest, have a party, people get suspicious.
I believe this was controversial at the time it came out (no pun intended). It is quite OTT & as a gay as a cake in parts with James Stewart stealing the show when he eventually gets on screen.
It is filmed like a play & supposedly in one shot but, in the words of Eric Morecambe, you can see the join.
Steve Pemberton & Reece Shearsmith obviously used this as a basis for episode 4 of Psychoville too.
