Rope (1948) Review - Old Timey Movies

My breakdown and review of the Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Rope (1948). The classic movie was the first full colour film from the master of suspense and possibly the first movie ever to attempt to be 1 single take. Obviously it is not all one take as that was literally impossible at the time but Mr. Hitchcock admirably tries his best and uses his perfect pacing to hide the few obvious cuts. Join me as we delve into the background of the film as we learn about the infamous case of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb that inspired the play that became the movie. We will break down the characters touching upon the gay subtext and don't worry we will keep the silliness up everywhere else. The film stars A listers Jimmy Stewart, Farley Granger and the underrated John Dall.
