Featuring: James Stewart, John Dall, Farley Granger, Dick Hogan, Edith Evanson, Douglas Dick, Joan Chandler, Cedric Hardwicke

Inspired by a real-life murder case, Alfred Hitchcock's Rope is a shocking spellbinder starring James Stewart. Two friends (Farley Granger and John Dall) strangle a classmate for intellectual thrills and then proceed to throw a party for the victim's family and friends—with the body stuffed inside the trunk they use for a buffet table. As the killers turn the conversation to committing the "perfect murder," their former teacher (Stewart) becomes increasingly suspicious that his students have turned his intellectual theories into brutal reality. Filmed in only nine different takes almost entirely on a single sound stage, the first color film from the Master of Suspense is a chilling look into the dark side of humanity.
