DIGITAL CINEMA PRESENTATION
To prove their superiority by committing the perfect crime, precocious Brandon (John Dall) and nervous Philip (Farley Granger) strangle a college classmate, fold his body into a wooden chest, then hold a cocktail party around the corpse. Guests include the victim's parents, girlfriend, and the very curious, equally intellectual publisher Rupert (James Stewart). Loosely based on the Leopold-Loew case, and edited to appear as if it was shot in a single take, Rope is an almost unbearable study in tension.
Presented by The Heights and The Trylon Cinema.
