Rope (1948)

Rope is a 1948 American crime film based on the play Rope (1929), directed by Alfred Hitchcock and produced by Sidney Bernstein and Hitchcock as the first of their Transatlantic Pictures productions.
Starring James Stewart, John Dall and Farley Granger, it 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.
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.

Ah yes, classic Hitchcock. Your take on this could be a poster for the movie. V

Very nice capture Walter, love the light and shadow!

Very neat shot. I like the contrast created by the two different posts, and the fact that the rope is starting to fray makes it more interesting. Nice light as well.
