Rope me in
Rope is one of those Hitchcock movies I've always heard so much about but never seen. And this is one that should not be overlooked. Based on a play, all the action takes place in a single apartment. But Hitchcock manages to build wonderful suspense in even such a small setting. Two friends decide to kill one of their "inferior" classmates and then have a dinner party for his friends and family on the chest where they have hidden the body. There is much interesting conversation about murder as an art and how some people deserve to be killed. Jimmy Stewart ("The Big Sleep") also turns in an excellent performance. If you haven't seen this Hitch, queue it up now.
