Rope (1948)

Date watched: November 12

Review: Alfred Hitchcock consistantly messes with his viewers. Rope is no different. The start of the movie starts with a murder, and the murderers aren't hidden from the viewer. Throughout the whole movie the viewer knows, while the people surrounding these murderers do not have a clue. James Stewart pulls off another extravagant performance in his first Hitchcock movie of his career. His character is one of many that have their own uniqueness that makes this movie all the more impressive. With a wide cast of characters and many moments of suspense, this makes for one of the best films of the 1940's.

Rating: 9.5/10.0
