Rope 1948 The 1948 film The Rope, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, the master of the thriller genre in the history of cinema, was adapted for the theater by Patrick Hamilton. Starring James Stewart, the production stars John Dall, Farley Granger and Joan Chandler. Rope, located in a single place, expresses the philosophy of many thinkers from Nietzsche to Freud by making various references. Two young men in a dignified and dignified position, Brandon and Philip, decide to bring their "various" murderous ideas to life, and then kill their socialite friend David. Supporting the idea that people who do not benefit the world can be killed, but nobles can commit murder, the duo hides the lifeless bodies of their friends, whom they killed by strangling with a rope, in a chest. Having a party at home hours after the murder was committed, the duo invite their friends to the house by putting food and drink in the chest where the body is found. However, everyone is waiting for David to come, and this expectation worries Philip, one of the perpetrators of the murder. Even though Brandon, who is more cold-blooded than Philip, tries to handle the situation, the intelligence of Rupert, one of his friends at the party, almost clashes with the duo.
