Episode 146 - Rope (1948)

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Steven and Antony to chat about Hitchcock, high rise hijinks and homicide.

It’s 1948 and we are discussing the master of suspense’s most technically challenging movie to date. Starring James Stewart, John Dall and Farley Granger, join us as we take a peek in the trunk and chat about Rope.

“You're quite a good chicken strangler as I recall.”

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 fiancée Janet, and their old schoolteacher Rupert, from whom they mistakenly took their ideas. As Brandon becomes increasingly more daring, Rupert begins to suspect.
