This is one of Hitchcock most underrated films. Most people don’t talk about this film, let alone any sort of accidents that happened when this film was being made. Thank you for the video Rick, keep up the great work!
Super underrated
@@ricknineg Hume Cronyn based on a play, based on Leopold and Loeb as the perfect murder, homosexual undertones as well as investigators suspected the real life killers may have been. Just watched the Outfit, same premise one location shoot, good movie😎
This is my favorite Hitchcock film. It had me holding my breath ....
I’ve seen it a dozen times. Next to Shadow of a Doubt, it’s probably my favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie also.
Agree - very underrated Hitchcock film - ahead of its time.
For 1948, even being in color, it’s mind-blowing what he accomplished
The movie was inspired by the Leopold-Loeb murder case, which was later dramatized in the movies Compulsion and Swoon. The play was adapted by Hume Cronyn and Arthur Laurents. An amazing film. Thank you for the new information!
I've seen this movie. It was great. The first thing i noticed was the length of the shots.This movie was like watching a live theatrical performance. You really see the talents of these great actors who effortlessly sustain a scene lasting longer than 2 lines. I dare any modern movie actor to do a 7 minute scene with no cuts.
Keanu Reeves: Challenge accepted!
They did indeed do very well with the eight-minute takes, but it wasn't effortless - try nerve-wracking.
@@lazyhomebody1356 Keanu is one of those actors who takes his craft very seriously. He puts in the time to get great results.
@@PaulRubino Did you see the SNL skit Keanu Reeves School of Acting? No, I love him!
Well the key actors in "Rope" had all done their time in stage plays. Rope itself had started as a stage play. Those modern Hollywood actors that started on the stage should have no trouble with the long scenes - there are many plays that are one act/one scene plays.
I have read reviews that say they don't like this film because it feels too much like a play, but I think they miss how complicated it must have been to be so seamless between scenes. The tension keeps increasing....really a model of how to have suspense. Didn't need buckets of gore, which I also appreciate.
No gore, the whole movie is tension building as it’s finest in essentially ONE room
Jimmy Stewart is one of my favorite actors! I lived in Indiana, PA for a number of years and his statue is outside the courthouse bigger than life and they even have a Jimmy Stewart Museum! Great movie, one of Hitchcock's best IMO. Cool facts Rick, thanks!
I visited once. Great museum and great actor.
I've watched it several times...
It has the feel of a stage production.
The acting is classic.
The only question I ever had..."Where did those bullets land after Jimmy Stewart fired the pistol out the window...in downtown NYC?
I watched this film for the first time last year! I knew a little about the unusual filming techniques, but this video really highlights how intricate and complex was the process! What an achievement for everyone involved.
A huge achievement
My favorite Hitchcock film is the other movie he made with Farley Granger, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN. Robert Walker is so boyish, yet he's so incredibly creepy in it--plus, it's even got Marion Lorne, Aunt Clara from BEWITCHED. And the fact that the big dramatic conclusion is a harrowing, suspenseful, screaming carousel wreck absolutely tickles me!
Love Hitch. He was a true master of his art. I've actually seen some of his silent work he did while still in England. He's the only person who could redo his own work and make it better and seem fresher. I haven't seen Rope yet but it's definitely one I want to add to my list. Thank you.
Thank you Rick for covering this film. It is my second favorite Hitchcock film, after "Rear Window" also with Jimmy Stewart. I love this film because it is almost like a stage production. Basically one set, the apartment and the macguffin is in plain view at all times.
"Rear Window" was made as a parody on a show called "Raising Hope" and is very true to the movie but will have you rolling on the floor in laughter.
Hey Rick, Rope is one of the best Hitchcock films in my opinion. I am amazed that they kept on filming when the cameraman broke his foot!!! I didn't know that!!! Thanks for sharing another exciting video in this Halloween series!!! 👍👍🎃
Truly one of the best
I can relate as I help video some community theater shows and as I ran upstairs to put together my equipment, I really stubbed my toes and equipment fell on it. It immediately turned the color PURPLE and it was throbbing as I filmed, standing up, for over 2 hours.
The show must go on,lol. Kudos
I saw it when it was rereleased to theaters back in the late '80s along with a few of the early '50s films that, at that time, hadn't been seen in decades, I think, for copyright reasons. What a joy it was to get 5 or 6 Hitchcock films that had been out of circulation, not even shown on TV in so many years, in proper cinemas.
As far as Rope goes, I love the way he films it like you are watching a play. Of course, ROPE began life as a Broadway play.
I love Hitchcock, but have never seen this movie. Now I have to find it!
Thanks Rick!
It’s a must watch. A slow burn but the build of tension is truly epic
Oh, I love Hitchcock too. I watch his films many times over and get the goose bumps and chills each time. I knew a few of the things you discussed, but learned quite a lot of new info. Keep up the good work.
I agree this movie happens in one place and mesmerizing. I had never seen this movie or heard of it. Then it came to tv . I was hooked. Thank you Rick!
"Rope" (1948) is one of my all time favorites.
I like this movie; it's like attending a stage play. Wonderfully written and well performed in all aspects.
An underrated Hitchcock film, most definitely. (edit) BTW, I did hear that it was a play based on a real-life murder.
After watching several of your videos I have to say that this one was one of the best you have done. I have not seen this film yet, but look forward to finding it and watching it asap.
Thank you kindly, Howard!
Hitch made approximately 55 films. Contrary to popular belief, he did not make a cameo in every one of them. He appeared in forty.
I love this film. Thanks for giving some insight into behind the scenes.
Fascinating info! I love this film, it is so anxiety filled from beginning to end. The cast is perfect, and yes, I have heard and read about hidden meanings, they are probably true. Indeed, they truly are monsters!
The way he builds the anxiety and tension is perfect
I have sympathy for the real young men this is based on. The fifties were incredibly vicious to anyone who wasn't a white male straight protestant
This is one of my favorite movies, as well.
Hi Rick! OMGOSH this was your best one yet! I loved all of this info! I am a huge film geek, worked in the film industry for years and absolutely love your videos, and especially enjoyed this one. Thank you! ❤
I’ve heard in Hitchcockian film lore circles that the great director also directed the theatrical trailers himself. He created a brilliant trailer for “Rope,” as good as the film, but it was lost or destroyed by the studio. The one that exists was created by a unit at Warner Bros. I would love to see the original trailer. 🎃
Indeed a GREAT movie and your video is perfect. Thank you!
Hi Rick. Thank you for a great video full of facts in history which I always Enjoy. Alfred Hitchcock was a master of his craft and this film illustrated that. Keep up the great work
I didn't realize the takes were so long! Hitch was always trying something new. I found Lifeboat to be fascinating when he decided to film an entire movie on a single prop (set).
I love this film. As I recall, the movie opens with a lot of action and no movement of the background lighting, but the movement and lighting relationship shifts throughout and at the end there's no action and the background is flashing and moving like crazy. I loved that. I believe it was originally a stage play which made the staging/filming of it easier.
Oh, and I read it's based on the Leopold & Loeb case.
@@toadstooltarot One of the main differences is that their victim was a young boy, not a young man
Thanks Rick for covering one of my fave movies ever! Happy Halloween from Italy 🎃 🇮🇹
Hola Manuel mi suegro es de Italia saludos🎃
I haven’t seen Rope yet 😊 now I will. I didn’t know about the accident. He definitely was a genius making movies. I feel sorry for the guy who broke his foot, the way they hauled him off the set. 🥴
Thank you Rick for bringing this movie to my attention 🎃👍
It’s so worth the watch. Slow paced but the genius is how the tension build, how it grips us. Pure genius
I thought you did an excellent job with this. I really enjoyed it. I have been a big fan of Rope since I was in high school and have enjoyed introducing it to unsuspecting friends, who have all enjoyed it. Thanks again!
What makes this masterpiece so great is the dialogue and acting. Just saw it again today. I like how it is filmed like a play. One thing I noticed that when Phillip broke the glass and had blood, a few minutes later when there was a close up on his hands, they looked perfect.
I haven’t seen this in at least ten or fifteen years! It’s on of those movies when it’s best to not know anything about the plot and go along with the movie. I remember my mom renting it from Blockbuster around 93ish(?). It’s definitely a great film. Surely someone performed it as a play at some point as it’s how the movie feels like watching one on stage.
The first couple of words get cut off from the beginning of your videos.
Rope was one of the first movies I recorded with a VCR back in the 80s. I'd never seen it, but knowing it was Hitchcock, I knew it would be good. It's one of my favorites.
I have seen this movie and also think it's great. I've watched it several times and notice something different with each viewing. My other favorites to watch are Rear Window, North by Northwest and even the very quirky and funny, The Trouble With Harry. Almost all Hitchcock movies are great. Thank Rick for an excellent video.
I have seen a huge number of Hitchcock films, including The Trouble With Harry (who of course was dead at film's start). It was dry in its humour. I particularly remember one elderly lady asking drily of the discoverer of the body: "What seems to be the problem, Captain?"... This was also Shirley MacLaine 's film debut.
This movie, in my opinion, was filmed the same way you would film a play on stage in a theater. That way everything flows like in reality. No jump cuts. No flashy special effects.
There is also a second "sort of" Hitchcock cameo later on. As it is getting dark, Hitchcock's famous silouette can be seen in neon outside of the window on a blinking neon sign located on an outside building. Check it out, it is there. Take care...
Rope has always been my favorite Hitchcock film specifically because you feel like you are in the room and you too are living the dirty secret, not like you are watching someone else live it.
I never heard of this film. I'll check it out today!
Oh no, it’s a must watch!
@@ricknineg I just watched it. Excellent film! 👍
This is my second favorite Hitchcock film, after Psycho. And a lot of these bits of trivia, I didn't even know! Thanks for such a great video!
Thanks for all this background information.
I haven't seen 'Rope' before. Thanks for TH-cam, I will watch it now. 😂
This was one of his best
Great movie! Greetings from New Zealand.
Thanks Margaret! Greetings from the USA
I really like Rope. It is a play that was adapted for the movie.
Hitchcock used both Cary Grant and James Stewart in four films each (though never in the same film), however the actor he used in the greatest number of films was Leo G. Carroll (most familiar to modern audiences as Mr. Waverly in "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." TV series.)
I am a BIG Hitchcock fan. I own this film on DVD, and it too is one of my favorites!
Psycho, Rear Window, Shadow of a Doubt, Suspicion. I've watched those over and over. Only seen Rope once! I'm not a fan of the "play like" films, but this video makes me have more respect for Rope
Amazing behind the scenes information on this movie. I've never scene this one and I love Hitchcock films. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy now. Thank you so much Rick! Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵
I recommend this film. I love the different style of the long lasting shots instead of a bunch of short ones. Yes, I am aware of the controversy about the actual relationship between .Brandon Shaw and Phillip Morgan that was supposed similar to the real life persons they were based on, Leopold & Loeb had.
Finally there are some who say that wasn't Hitchcock walking & that his only cameo was the red neon sign shaped like his profile seen out the window 55 minutes into the fim.
I remember reading about the limited scenes in this movie, but didn't know about the accident! This is one of my favorites, too.
Have you seen The Trouble with Harry? It's another of my favorites!
Thanks for the very interesting behind the scenes info Rick. I still think that North by Northwest and/or Psycho were his best movies, but to me, Vertigo, Rope and Rear Window were very close seconds.
Yes, I’ve made a video on Rear Window. You should definitely check that out
How discretely a gay couple was portrayed in that era. In real life Dall was gay, openly, and Granger was bi. The movie is based upon the Loeb and Leopold murder of the '20s.
Also my favorite Hitchcock movie, I love it!!
Amazing movie and a great video❣️
Thanks so much
Vertigo is my favorite Hitchcock movie.
Love your enthusiasm for this too-neglected masterpiece! Where did you get the info on the two incidents?
The consensus is that the cameo occurs about 55 minutes in -- AH's profile occurs in a neon sign.
The blackouts were unnecessary because (among other things) there's at least one normal cut. I seem to be the only fan to notice where a wall comes silently together ;)
I never seen this one before. Thanks for the information.
Worth the watch
@@ricknineg I will look for it.
Of course the victim had to be named David. 🤨 AND was it just me or did the guy’s hand that was severely cut from the broken glass miraculously heal to a whole and unblemished state seconds before the pirate hat lady read his palms? 😂
Seriously though, I hadn’t watched Rope until after seeing your video on it today. I rewatched your video after watching Rope and I agreed 💯 with your comments and observations! Excellent movie with so much more in it than meets the eye. 👍🏻
Watched this film a few years ago at 32,000 feet the Spanish version titled _La Soga_ .
Never heard of this movie before. Will have to check it out, even though I really hate "slow burn" movies. But then again, Hitchcock isn't known for being boring, and something always happening verbally or physically.
Thanks!!!
*Thanks!*
Vaguely familiar with this. I must youtube it. Txs Rick.
I just rewatched Rope the other day, and I gotta tell ya, it lost me at the end when Jimmy Stewart fires the gun out the window to summon the police. I doubt gunfire alone would be enough to bother a pigeon in NYC.
Well remember that was 1948
From what I read, Rope could have been also influenced by the incident in Hitchcock's life where the assassination idea in Foreign Correspondent (1940) was copied in real life in order to murder someone at a location called Tarahan. This incident is mentioned by Hitchcock to Tom Snyder in 1973 interview. Hitchcock's film Rope is also very different from the play it is based on.
It’s an excellent movie.
Farley Granger and Dall do come across as slightly more than friends. This is filmed like a few other movies in the 30s and 40s much like a stage play. In fact, this is based on a stage play. We get the build up of suspense. To me, the most shocking thing isn't that the two leads are very, very close, the fact that the buffet has a body in it but the way the police are summoned at the end of the movie simply by firing a gun out the window. Today, a single gunshot is hardly going to blink an eye.
Hitchcock like using Jimmy Steward and he used Cary Grant in several of his movies. He liked blondes, too. Almost every movie has a blonde lead.
My favorite Hitchcock movie is "The Man Who Knew Too Much." The most suspenseful moment is during the concert with the orchestra playing and the pipe organ starts in as a silver pistol illuminated from the darkness most steadily and precisely moves into position and turns toward the screen.
There are about four gunshots at the very end, not just one. The people on the street react to them and the rest follows logically.
I have always heard that this movie for its time, was one of the first movies of this nature, to insinuate a homosexual relationship between two of the protagonists.
Thanks, rick
Ive seen the movie and enjoyed it. Its been awhile tho I saw it on VHS so what does that tell ya? 😂 (besides that im old) Interesting facts about the movie I need to see it again. Thanks for another interesting and informative video
It's weird they'd do the sound with the ambulance while filming when it easily could've been done in post. Maybe it helped with the reaction of the actors.
Hi Rick. I finally got to watch this the other day and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially after learning the backstory. I noticed something about Jimmy Stewart, or at least I think I did. It looked as if he was walking with a slight limp. Did he have a limp in 1948 or did he do that for the movie?
Of course, I could have just been seeing things.
Have a Merry Christmas!
One of the actors, I can't remember which, complained that the only thing being rehearsed was the camera!
I’ve never seen it. Sounds like a good one.
I have replied to one comment below, but thought I should add a more general comment. I have seen many Hitchcock movies, including Rope. A book in the 1960s mentioned Hitchcock's experiments in self-imposed limitations (a single room, in Rear Window; the eponymous Lifeboat in that film; and the so-called 'ten-minute takes' of Rope). Has no one yet pointed out that Rope was thus an early predecessor of Sam Mendes's brilliant movie 1917? The latter used similar (but even more sustained and technically inventive tricks) to sustain the illusion of a movie shot in a single take, although 1917 had a break overnight when its protagonist was unconscious...
I have been fascinated by visual effects since before that became fashionable. So another Hitchcock favourite is Foreign Correspondent. This is because of its aeroplane sea ditching. From the POV of the passengers, the sea was visible beyond the flight deck, looming closer (rear projected) until in an unbroken take the sea was pouring into the cockpit, and then into the passenger cabin, courtesy of a studio dump tank. Sensational! Thanks, Rick, for the extra detail from your research.
I've never seen Rope! I love Jimmy Stewart and Hitchcock, so I need to find it. Where can I watch it, do you know?
What's your source for the info on the two incidents? Enjoyed this commentary and love this movie. The unique filming process is very cool and caused a sensation as it was being done -- a number of stars not in the production visited the set to have a look. The blackouts on guys' jackets etc don't however match the concept and are dispensed with at least once.
The cost of an average home in 1948 was $6,000.😊❤❤
At one point the maid calls Jimmy Stewart, “Mr. Stewart,” not the character’s name.
What Hitchcock is to suspense, Nineg is to youtube videos about Hitchcock!
There is only one mind that can pull off this kind of creativity in a film obviously.........Hitchcock. Doesn't it make you wonder about his parents? Its not about being a simple movie.......but the sequence and detail he has going on in his mind....24/7. Makes you wonder........he's sitting on his porch out back with a cup of coffee and roll, and starts thinking about the rope Brandon is dropping into the kitchen drawer while the door is swinging back and forth. Its like he is living in his own little private world that only he can see and understand or create rather. Anyway.....I'm rambling here as usual. I wonder if anyone else does this in their mind.......going scene by scene wondering what H was thinking at the time. This is probably my fav H film......even as tragic as it is with David in the chest......the whole idea and creation is amazing. I wonder if I could write a script like this? Can't be about books, or strangling, two gay men, etc........but a different path. Oh well.
😮😮😮😮😮
I’ve never seen it I have seen psycho and of corse it was good but this I’ll have to this and maybe some of the others that you mentioned at the end
Mine too. Cat and mouse . . .
8:49 "...the Patreon description in the link below"?
Very interesting, and a good choice, perhaps you could Dial M.
Cheers.
I watch it about once a year .. I like it faaaar more than North By Northwest but not as much as VERTIGO
It looks like Jimmy Stewart is limping in this movie. Any idea why?
Great movie though James Stewart was miscasted.
Rope burn???? :)
Hitchcock may have been a horror flick/TV expert/genius but he was a horror!
He propositioned Tippi Hendron. He stated to her if you don't consent I will ruin your career. Of course it was more than this, but that is what it came down to.
She, obviously, didn't comply and he had her blackballed!
Interesting! I have heard he was practically asexual and knew nothing about women. (He obviously managed to have a daughter) He directed one actress to go into the water at the beach but he refused since it was her period...he had to have that explained to him! No idea what it meant. Tippi Hedron was a great animal activist, one of my heroes. Oh- edit- did you mean someone else? Still heinous behavior
@@lazyhomebody1356 misspelled her name...
@@lazyhomebody1356 Someone who was married & had a daughter didn't know? Geesh.
@@eloiseockert9233 Yes, he was married at the time. An absent-minded professor type maybe
