Your channel is not the only one of my "notify me of all videos" subscriptions that I don't hear about. So, I then have to remember each of my subscriptions and check each one for the latest video even though I used TH-cam's method of ensuring that I know of new videos. I know videos such as yours take a lot of creativity, talent, time, money, and energy to produce. I would be happy to write the responsible person at TH-cam and let him/her know of my notification problem in order to attempt a change.
Oh my. 😂😂😂. “Where You Been”? What the hell the matter with you MEF? Your life, is to be here for us! 🙄 Whenever you drop the goods is ok with me, bud.
I'm strangely satisfied you used Elwood P. Dowd instead of the obvious George Bailey. Nice touch. String is a tense, immersive movie for me. I really like it.
"Rope" is based on the murder of the young heir to a fortune by two extremely rich intellectuals who just wanted to see if they could get away with it to prove their superiority. They didn't get away with it. Not a bad Jimmy Stewart imitation, MEF. And your USPS comment is brilliant.
This movie was based on another movie, Compulsion and starred Spencer Tracey as Clarence Darrow, the great defense attorney from the Scopes Monkey Trial
@@rachelgarber1423 Hello, Rachel! I had to go to IMDB to find info on the movie "Compulsion". In that 1959 movie the "Clarence Darrow" defense attorney character was actually played by Orson Welles, rather than by Spencer Tracy. Spencer's tour de force portrayal of Darrow was indeed in the movie "Inherit the Wind."
@@rachelgarber1423 Rope was made several years before Compulsion and was a play before a movie. Both Rope and Compulsion were inspired by the murder of Bobby Franks by Leopold and Loeb.
Oh, yeah. Legal Eagle discussed that murder and the following trial. For two as*holes trying to prove their superiority they did an absolute SH** job at trying to get away with murder!
Rope....Rear Window. Both Hitchcock. Both Jimmy Stewart. Both one set shot in an apartment. Both have a piano. Both NYC skyline. Both dead peeps in box (suitcase.) However, only one had Grace Kelly....hot! Thanks MEF. I'm loving the classics. So much material out there.
I was introduced to this movie many, MANY years ago, by Siskel and Ebert. Their commentary was helpful. It seems that Hitchcock's goal, was to make this movie appear as if it was •One...Long...(continuous)...Shot•. Film canisters at the time allowed for about 10 minutes or so of filming at once. When the production crew would reach the end-point of some portion of a scene, Hitchcock would have the Director of Photography focus, for a moment, on one of the actor's backs. The screen would momentarily go completely dark, and then the image would zoom out once again, and the scene filming would continue (with a fresh canister of film present). It was most helpful to have this explained to me, before seeing the film; otherwise you'd have a " (??!!?) WTF's that all about??" - reaction. I continue to enjoy your work, Jeb. Would you consider doing a Hayo Miyazaki film? (Totoro, or Kiki's delivery service)? :)
I was only half paying attention in the first half and thought they were EATING DEAD DAVID... So I had to go back and see that he was just in the trunk. 🤦🏼♀️ Ahh! Your Jimmy Stewart impression is on point! 😂
Oh boy Mr. Jeb, you keep “reviewing” old Alfred’s masterful films like this, and he gonna creep on you one day! I always loved the simplistic setting of this movie, felt more like watching a theatre play. Cousy. And that sun slowly setting beyond the windows is a true masterful detail of filmmaking.
The movie is based on the film Compulsion which was based on a book of the same name. The book was first adapted for a play starring Spencer Tracey as the great Clarence Darrow. He reprised the role in the movie
Perfect video as always. I actually watched this back in the late 90s because an episode of the XFiles was done in either one take or one long series of takes and articles mentioned Rope was filmed this way. Also Jimmy Stewart was my favorite actor and I love classic movies. But have not watched the movie since. Watching this now makes me cry. What a messed up and sad world it seems to be sometimes. But yes it was a good movie.
You should be a comedian I hope you're weighing those options because you are funny as hell!! My side, even though I've seen this video like four times, I still laugh my ass off! 🤭😂😂😂🤣
I doubt people from my generation watch older movies but I got that Elmwood P Dowd reference! To people who don't know, it's from the movie Harvey which is worth a watch :)
I would love a MEF on Gone with the Wind. I’m having another baby girl in January and we are naming her Scarlett. It’s my favorite movie and I think it would be hilarious to her Jeb explain the movie!
What if upstanding citizen Jimmy Stewart killed somebody with those bullets? What goes up must come down, after all. 💀🔫 6:03 RIP, unsuspecting stranger. ..
This movie murder would have been recognized by movie goers as the Leopold and Loeb case. Two young, wealthy, college-educated men who were impresses by the book "Man and Superman."

Their defence lawyer was none other than Clarence Darrow, whose defence goal was to save them from the death penalty. The decadence of the crime caused a media sensation.
I love this movie but the actor that plays Philip is just the worst..almost ruins the movie for me. Another actor would of probably been a lot better. If they do a remake of this movie I'd like Ed Helms to play Brandon or Jason Sudeikis as a second choice...They look like Brandon and I think they also have the chops for this.

I went on a serious James Stewart movie binge a few years ago, mostly his earliest work so this makes me happy. Harvey is probably my favorite.
Harvey is fantastic.
Harvey is a great movie. Although when I was a child it scared me.
Vertigo is amazing
That damn *_ POOKA _* 🤣😂

Miss you Jeb! Love the alliteration. And all the talkin'! "Over David's damn body." 😃😄😃 ( Nice Jimmy Stewart, by the way...)
Excellent Jimmy Stewart. 😁

"Octo-D." Love your humor.
What an amazing Jimmy Stewart impression, Jeb! And that's not a rope, it's just a clothesline.
Oddly topical with the USPS crack.
Letter carriers across America appreciate your allegiance and assistance in announcing this abhorrent attack.
I’m a little out of the loop.
Are you one of those Carriers ? I've been looking for a comment from the front lines. Us old folks have your back.
Oh happy day!!! Thank you Jeb for all the laughs and all your hard work.
I loved this movie as a kid. I don't know what the HELL that says about me, but just in case I don't keep rope in the house 😉
Oh boy Mr. Jeb, you keep “reviewing” old Alfred’s masterful films like this, and he gonna creep on you one day!
I always loved the simplistic setting of this movie, felt more like watching a theatre play. Cousy. And that sun slowly setting beyond the windows is a true masterful detail of filmmaking.
I love that Jeb included Niles in that list. Lol
The best of Jeb is...every time he talks about a movie he really loves
Jeb what an excellent job!😂😂🤭 Yeah, that Jimmy Stewart impersonation is off the chain! 🙂
The USPS joke!!! OMG Jeb you are the best!!
My favorite new channel!! Found your GWTW video, and working my way through the MEF classics!!
Best alliteration moment ever is in the video. Fantastic!
Ms.Golightly : Alfred,darling, I hate snoops!😂
One of my favorites! My enormous crush on Farley Granger has nothing to do with it. Haha.
God I love this movie. So happy you did this one.
This is a movie I never heard of. It would make a great play in a black box theater as well.

@@rachelgarber1423 wow thanks for the info. Gonna look up the Compulsion film too.
I'm supposed to be working.... But then MEF posts a video. I guess, It's break time. 😄

That's a pretty good / funny Jimmy Stewart accent.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you so much muffin 💕
You did a good Elwood P. Dowd. It IS a wonderful life!
I’ve only just come across this movie in the last few months or so. Jeb you reading my mind or something
Favorite Hitchcock movie. You forgot to mention the continuous 10 minute long takes. 😻
You should be a comedian I hope you're weighing those options because you are funny as hell!! My side, even though I've seen this video like four times, I still laugh my ass off! 🤭😂😂😂🤣
I watched this last night! Not his best but a technical marvel of a film. Thanks Jeb, hope you and mamma are well.
I doubt people from my generation watch older movies but I got that Elmwood P Dowd reference! To people who don't know, it's from the movie Harvey which is worth a watch :)
You Are Forever Awesome Always!
Pleasant *and* Smart 👍👍👍

If he doesn't, look up The Carol Burnett Show's version on TH-cam.

Congratulations Tiffany. Scarlett is such a beautiful name. I do wish Jeb would do Gone With The Wind.

RIP, unsuspecting stranger. ..
😅 And then they keep talking!!! But I like that talking.
I heard this movie was based on a real murder, so I looked it up. It's pretty weird. Look up Bobby Franks, Nathan Leopold, and Richard Loeb
So basically it's crime and punishment?
Dude where have you been??!!!
I'm glad you're well man, corona has messed so much up.
Killing a man and getting away with it which is so much merde.
Rats!

Leopold and Loeb, ala Hitch.
Fun! Onion rings!

Farley Granger is pretty bad in this picture. John Dall, best known for Gun Crazy and Spartacus, is pretty good.
I saw this movie not was really good! Jeb did a perfect review.
You know this movie was based on an actual murder don't you?
Always onion rings
I love this movie but the actor that plays Philip is just the worst..almost ruins the movie for me. Another actor would of probably been a lot better. If they do a remake of this movie I'd like Ed Helms to play Brandon or Jason Sudeikis as a second choice...They look like Brandon and I think they also have the chops for this.
I think they were lovers in real life after this movie unless I’m wrong🤔
