Rope (1948 PG)

   The movie stars James Stewart (Rear Window, Flight of the Pheonix), John Dell (Gun Crazy, The Man Who Created Himself), Farley Granger (Edge of Doom, The Purple Heart), and Constance Colier (The Girl from Manhattan, Stage Door).
   The plot, base on a real life crime, is about two school friends who kill a friend then host a party to see if they can get away with it.  At the party is a former teacher, Stewart, of the two students, Dell and Granger.
   I liked the color design of the house.  The contrast of the personalities of the two friends was nice.  For a short movie I thought the time between the killing and when the party started was a bit too long.  The movie was about 80 minutes so I thought it needed to get to the party sooner.
   Im rating this movie as a C.  I can take it or leave it.  If you are a big Hitchcock or Stewart go for it but for me I would probally say pass.
