Two thrill-seeking friends strangle a classmate in their apartment and then invite the victim’s father and their revered professor (Jimmy Stewart) over for cocktails. Alfred Hitchcock's macabre thriller creates the illusion of being filmed in one long shot by seamlessly combining eight 10-minute reels. (Feature films generally have about 600 shots.) Unfolding in real time, Rope builds slowly, layering the tension and suspicion to heart-stopping heights.  D: Alfred Hitchcock, US, 1948, 80m
