    Rope is my favorite Hitchcock film among many. In addition to Stewart, Dall, and Farley, all of the supporting cast members were flawlessly chosen with their performances adding so much variety, subtly, and sincerity. I enjoy and study wine. The fact that Veuve Clicquot is the special "champagne" ( a highly respected and luxury wine) adds to the sense of the indulgent rich who from their perspectives, probably see the apartment and its contents, including the Veuve and the high-end spirits and cut glass set, as perhaps not ordinary but expected.

    Keep in mind, when this interview was televised, Hitchcock had pulled Rope (along with four of his other movies) out of circulation. It only became as widely available as it is today starting in 1984. Apparently he said he would re-release the picture(s) after his death so he and his films could be talked about again after he was gone. And you know what? It worked, the cheeky bastard.
