Rope (1948)

Dana and Tom discuss another Alfred Hitchcock classic in Rope (1948): directed by Alfred Hitchcock, adaptation by Hume Cronyn, screenplay by Arthur Laurents, starring James Stewart, John Dall, and Farley Granger.

Plot Summary: Philip Morgan (Farley Granger) and Brandon Shaw (John Dall) strangle a mutual friend to death with a piece of rope to experience the supremacy of murder. Planning to capitalize on this experience, the two plan a dinner party upon the very chest where they have laid their victim. To make matters worse, the pair welcome their invited guests, including the victim's oblivious fiancée (Joan Chandler), the victim's parents, and the college professor (James Stewart) whose lectures inadvertently inspired the killing. Will the two succeed and prove their superiority, or will they fail and prove the folly of their efforts?
