Rope (film)

Rope is a 1948 American psychological crime thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, based on the 1929 play of the same name by Patrick Hamilton and adapted by Hume Cronyn and Arthur Laurents.

The film was produced by Hitchcock and Sidney Bernstein as the first of their Transatlantic Pictures productions. Starring James Stewart, John Dall and Farley Granger, this is the first of Hitchcock's Technicolor films, and is notable for taking place in real time and being edited so as to appear as a single continuous shot through the use of long takes. It is the second of Hitchcock's "limited setting" films, the first being Lifeboat. The original play was said to be inspired by the real-life murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks in 1924 by University of Chicago students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb.

Plot

Two brilliant young aesthetes, Brandon Shaw (Dall) and Phillip Morgan (Granger), strangle to death a former classmate, David Kentley (Dick Hogan), in their apartment. They commit the crime as an intellectual exercise; they want to prove their superiority by committing the "perfect murder".

Hollow this - and maybe you can swallow this - I don't know
I guess it always seems that something in this life is diseased
But guess what I know - Here's something that you can't devour
It's something moving with the tide and now it's ripping you from inside
Follow me into the Abyss of the windfall that's tearing you down
It's OK to believe that there's something in nothing now
I'm at the end of my rope
If I could give - I'll bet I would play dead
If I could live - I'd fall apart again
If I could fly - away from all this pain
If I could run - I'd crumble again
Please rewind - retrace your life - and then you'll find
That everything you learned in this - is just a pile of worthlessness
So suffocate - and maybe you can separate
And in the end - it's no surprise - that only in death will you realize
I'm at the end of my rope
If I could give - I'll bet I would play dead
If I could live - I'd fall apart again
If I could fly away - from all this pain
If I could run - I'd crumble again
If it's true - it's just to pass the time - just to pacify my will to bind
You can't drive when you're blind - and it burns your eyes
You can't hold me to a place in time - where I'm stuck behind
You can't climb out of the flood -the sign - listen to the lies that cut
you up inside - and the blood will stain our lives
If I could.....
I'm at the end of my rope
If I could give more - yeah
If I could cut me in any way I could
If I could fly away
If I could....If I could run
