Just before hosting a dinner party, Philip Morgan and Brandon Shaw strangle a mutual friend with a piece of rope, purely as a Nietzsche-inspired philosophical exercise. Hiding the body, they arrange a dinner party, welcoming their guests, including the victim's oblivious fiancée and the college professor whose lectures inadvertently inspired the killing.

Famously shot in 'real time and one take', Rope is a true Hitchcock classic, with a typically droll and brilliant performance by Jimmy Stewart. 

Hitchcock’s audacious film sets out to prove there’s no such thing as getting away with murder, even if the central couple Brandon and Philip arrogantly believe they can. With the coded language and looks between the two men more than hinting at a love that was illicit in 1948, the tension rises as their perfect plan starts to unravel. Will it just be one murder before the night is through?
