Two men are convinced that they've commited the perfect murder, but to test out their theory, they hold a party straight after committing the deed, their mission to hold their nerve, and not give the game away.
The Master of Suspense serves up one of the best games or cat and mouse ever made, this is a tantalising thriller, for my money it's one of the best.
I make no secret of the fact that I love Hitchcock's catalogue of films, there are some truly glorious names on that list, Rope is definitely one of the best entries on that list.
The way this is shot is so unusual, the scenes are long and dialogue heavy, but so absorbing, the tension is incredible, you're just waiting for someone to crack, someone to slip up.
I'm always struck by how short this film is, it really does pass by at a flash, just about 75 minutes long.
James Stewart delivers once again, the whole cast are immaculate in their delivery.
Rope is without any doubt, a classic.
9/10.
