TRAMA:
Due giovani omosessuali, Brandon e Philip, uccidono il loro amico David strangolandolo con una corda e nascondono il suo corpo in una cassa sulla quale imbandiscono la tavola. Sta per iniziare una singolare festa, a cui sono invitati anche il padre del ragazzo ucciso e la sua ragazza Janet.

Durante la serata Brandon invita il suo ex professore Rupert Cadell a esporre le sue teorie sull'omicidio come privilegio riservato a pochi eletti e non perde occasione per far battute a doppio senso in modo da dimostrare la sua superiorit? intellettuale, sperando che il professore le colga e apprezzi il gesto da lui compiuto. Philip invece si abbandona all'alcool per tentare inutilmente di nascondere il suo nervosismo...

COMMENTS:
Alfred Hitchcock broke boundaries in the movie making industry. He overcame the odds to create not just film, but works of art. He could tell a story like no other and it has been copied ever since. Horror, thrillers, crime, and mysteries were his specialties. His unique sense of how a film should look is unparalleled by any other. One of the most creative and interesting to watch has got to be Rope.

Rope is the story of two young men, Brandan and Phillip (John Dall and Farley Granger), who come together to perform the perfect murder. They're only motive is that they are superior beings like Nietzsche says. So why do they kill they're friend David? Are they really that much above everyone else? They seem to think so, and they're old school master Rupert (James Stewart) gave them the idea in the first place. It seems that Brandan and Phillip have taken it too far.

After strangling David with a piece of rope, they must prepare for the party they are throwing. The food is set, David is placed in a chest in the parlor, and the guests will be arriving soon. One more change is needed to really make this a work of art. The food is moved from the dinning room and placed on top of the chest where David is resting in peace. Mrs. Wilson, the maid, doesn't seem to understand but it is not her job. Now everything is set. All that are needed are their guests, including David's father!

Their friend Kenneth, David's girlfriend/Kenneth's ex-girlfriend Janet, David's father, Mrs. Atwater, and Rupert all arrive and begin to eat. Phillip is in a daze because of the whole situation before hand. He still hasn't quite settled down yet and is very uneasy. Branan on the other hand is quite chirpy, stuttering with so much excitement. The party includes some musical accompaniment from Phillip and talk of David's whereabouts, for he was supposed to be there...alive. He can't believe that he actually pulled it off. All that needs to happen is for the guests to leave and off to the country-side to dispose of David.

Hitchcock has taken Patrick Hamilton's play and made it into an absolute masterpiece. Hitchcock had to take out some elements to the characters of Brandan and Phillip, mainly their homosexuality. Originally on stage the two are homosexuals but because of the time in which the movie was made in, it had to be adjusted to suit American standards. Europe already had addressed the issue in movies, but the US hadn't made it that far yet.

The real standout of this picture has got to be the cinematography. The entire movie is basically filmed in one continuous shot. The camera moves around with the characters over the apartment. It is made to look like you would see it on stage. You see everything going on and hear everything, just focus your attention on the characters that are speaking of moving around. The only time Hitchcock would stop the camera was when a person would walk by it would zoom in on their back for a second of two, just so the whole movie wasn't filmed non-stop, and made editing very simple. There is only one setting for the whole movie so you know exactly what is going on everywhere at all times. You can feel the suspense thickening as the men's secret is close to being exposed.

Rope is a perfect film and couldn't have fallen into better hands than Alfred Hitchcock. His vision to make a movie based on a play surpasses all other attempts at making this conversion. The film runs only 80 minutes but nonetheless is exhilarating from beginning to end. Unfortunately due to the homosexual references, the movie didn't do as well as it should have, but left its mark in cinema history. Don't let this one get away!

RECENSIONE:
Per il regista ? una doppia sfida tecnica: ? il suo primo film a colori, ed ? composto da otto piani-sequenza collegati tra loro in modo da apparire come un'unica ripresa senza stacchi.

Il soggetto ? ispirato ad un avvenimento di cronaca nera, l'assassinio di un bambino commesso da una coppia di giovani legati da un legame omosessuale: Nathan Freudenthal Leopold, Jr. e Richard A. Loeb, che sconvolse l'America per la sua assoluta "gratuit?" (la vittima fu scelta a caso, e il delitto aveva il solo scopo di commettere un delitto). Il film si limita tuttavia unicamente a prendere spunto dal "gesto gratuito" della coppia, poich? il delitto Leopold-Loeb ebbe esecuzione totalmente diversa da quella presentata dalla trama del film.

L'humor nero di Hitchcock trova espressione in singolari accorgimenti tecnici, come alcune riprese effettuate dal punto di vista del cadavere.

Va dato atto del fatto che Hitchock riesce, nonostante il Codice Hays allora in vigore proibisse espressamente la rappresentazione di omosessuali sul grande schermo, a dar conto del legame fra i due personaggi. Lo fa attraverso dettagli e sottili allusioni che non sarebbero sfuggite allo spettatore avvertito dell'epoca, anche se erano destinati a sfuggire al grande pubblico (e allo smaliziato spettatore di oggi, non pi? abituato a decifrare microscopici indizi allusivi).

Il film si inserisce inoltre nel dibattito, che all'epoca era d'attualit?, sul cosiddetto '"atto gratuito" propugnato dal premio Nobel per la letteratura Andr? Gide.
