Rope

Brandon and Philip are two young men who share a New York City apartment. They consider themselves intellectually superior to their friend David Kentley, and as a consequence, decide to murder him. Together they strangle David with a rope and placing the body in an old chest, they proceed to hold a small party. The guests include David's father, his fiancA©e Janet, and their old schoolteacher Rupert, from whom they mistakenly took their ideas. As Brandon becomes increasingly more daring, Rupert begins to suspect. ??Col Needham Awards: 2 wins & 4 nominationsBudget: $1,500,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $10,590Soundtrack: Mouvement perpetuel no. 1 ((1919) (uncredited))Alfred HitchcockJames Stewart, John Dall, Farley Granger1948-09-25 (United States)tt0040746
