Manhattan
Manhattan is one of the five boroughs of New York City. Located primarily on Manhattan Island at the mouth of the Hudson River, the boundaries of the borough are identical to those of New York County, an original county of the state of New York. It consists of Manhattan Island and several small adjacent islands: Roosevelt Island, Randall's Island, Wards Island, Governors Island, Liberty Island, part of Ellis Island, and U Thant Island; as well as Marble Hill, a small section on the mainland adjacent to the Bronx. The original city of New York began at the southern end of Manhattan, and expanded in 1898 to include surrounding counties. It is the smallest, yet most urbanized of the five boroughs.

Don't you know what you could do for me with one thin rope?
Don't you know what you could do for me with one more stroke?
Don't you know what your heaving breath for this burnt swelling flesh?
Don't you know how I feel with your fingers around my neck?
Pass me the rope the burn is intense
I'm starting to choke the yearning relents
Like a pig on a poke
I've hurt and I've hoped
Well I lie for the life of me
The bile's at the back of my throat
There's a bloated germ in my belly
That yearns for one small slit
Therein this writhing sperm
This blow off in the grit
Pass me the rope the burn is intense
I'm starting to choke the yearning relents
Like a pig on a poke
I've hurt and I've hoped
Well I lie for the life of me
The bile's at the back of my throat
I don't need no one to tell me nothing
I can take myself in my own good time
I met my maker when I met my mother
Not the seven bribes of christ
Don't trespass on my patience baby
Your eyes are bigger than your belly
Like the letter of the law
Like the ulcerating sore
I'm sucking on the stick that stinks
Pass me the rope the burn is intense
I'm starting to choke the yearning relents
Like a pig on a poke
I've hurt and I've hoped
Well I lie for the life of me
The bile's at the back of my throat
Hallow 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 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 okay to believe that there's something in nothing now
I'm at the end of my rope
If I could give - I 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 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 mind to bind
You can't drive when your 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 run... If I could

Rope (1948) - "Did You Think You Were God?!" - James Stewart
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 6:01
- Published: 20 Oct 2010
- Updated: 24 Aug 2012
The final six minutes of Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 film "Rope": Rupert Cadell (James Stewart) discovers that Brandon Shaw (John Dall) and Phillip Morgan (Farley Granger) have, in fact, murdered simply for the sake of killing. Rupert reflects on the ideas of superiority that he had preached in Brandon's prep school days in an impassioned exchange with Brandon followed by the powerful, thought-provoking sort of monologue that only Jimmy Stewart can produce. Enjoy! Loosely based off the "Leopold and Loeb" scandal, "Rope" tells the story of two extraordinarily intellgent young men determined to commit the "perfect crime." Nietzschean ideas of superiority (the "Superman") drove them to devise a plan to murder one whom they deemed an "inferior being." Contrary to what "Rope" suggests about capital punishment, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb under the defense of Clarence Darrow were sentenced instead to life imprisonment.

The few are those men of such intellectual and cultural superiority that they are above the traditional morale concepts. Good and evil, right and wrong were invented for the ordinary, average man...the inferior man, because he needs them. How do our politicians view themselves? How do they view us? They are superior, thus above the law. We are inferior. Heaven forbid we violate those same laws, even on a significantly lesser scale.

Rope is a 1948 American thriller film based on the play Rope (1929) by Patrick Hamilton and adapted by Hume Cronyn (treatment)[2] and Arthur Laurents, 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.

Plot[link]
On a late afternoon, two brilliant young aesthetes, Brandon Shaw (Dall) and Phillip Morgan (Granger), murder a former classmate, David Kentley (Dick Hogan), by strangulation in their apartment. They commit the crime as an intellectual exercise: they want to prove their superiority by committing the "perfect murder".
After hiding the body in a large antique wooden chest, Brandon and Phillip host a dinner party at the apartment which has a panoramic view of Manhattan's skyline. The guests, unaware of what has happened, include the victim's father Mr. Kentley (Cedric Hardwicke) and aunt Mrs. Atwater (Constance Collier); his mother is not able to attend. Also there is his fiancee, Janet Walker (Joan Chandler) and her former lover Kenneth Lawrence (Douglas Dick), who was once David's close friend.
In a subtle move, Brandon uses the chest containing the body as a buffet for the food, just before their maid, Mrs. Wilson (Edith Evanson) arrives to help with the party. "Now the fun begins", Brandon says when the first guests arrive.
Brandon's and Phillip's idea for the murder was inspired years earlier by conversations with their erstwhile prep-school housemaster, publisher Rupert Cadell (Stewart). While at school, Rupert had discussed with them, in an apparently approving way, the intellectual concepts of Nietzsche's Übermensch and the art of murder, a means of showing one's superiority over others. He too is among the guests at the party, since Brandon in particular feels that he would very likely approve of their "work of art".
Brandon's subtle hints about David's absence lead to a discussion on the art of murder. He appears calm and in control, although when he first speaks to Rupert, he is nervously excited, stammering. Phillip, on the other hand, is visibly upset and morose. He does not conceal it well and starts to drink too much. When David's aunt, Mrs. Atwater, who fancies herself as a fortune-teller, tells him that his hands will bring him great fame. She is referring to his skill at the piano, but he appears to think that the "fame" will in fact be the notoriety gained from being caught.
Much of the conversation, however, focuses on David and his strange absence, which worries the guests. A suspicious Rupert quizzes a fidgety Phillip about this and about some of the inconsistencies that have been raised in conversation. For example, Phillip had vehemently denied ever strangling a chicken at the Shaws’ farm, but Rupert has personally seen Phillip strangle several. Phillip later complains to Brandon about having had a "rotten evening", not because of David's murder, but over Rupert's questioning.
Emotions run high. David's father and fiancée are disturbed, wondering why he has neither arrived nor phoned. Brandon even goes so far as to increase the tension by playing matchmaker between Janet and Kenneth.
Mr. Kentley decides to leave when his wife calls, overwrought because she has not heard a word from David herself. He takes with him some books Brandon has given him, tied together with the very rope Brandon and Phillip used to strangle his son, Brandon's icing on the cake.
While leaving, Rupert is handed the wrong hat, with a monogram "D.K." (as in David Kentley) inside it. Rupert returns to the apartment a short while after everyone else has departed, pretending that he has absentmindedly left his cigarette case behind. He 'plants' the case, asks for a drink and then stays to theorize about the disappearance of David, encouraged by Brandon, who seems eager to have Rupert discover the crime. A tipsy Phillip is unable to take it any more, throwing a glass and saying: "Cat and mouse, cat and mouse. But which is the cat and which is the mouse?"
Rupert lifts the lid of the chest and finds the body inside; his two former students have indeed killed David. He is horrified, but also deeply ashamed, realizing that they used his own rhetoric to rationalize murder. Rupert seizes Brandon's gun and fires several shots into the night in order to attract attention. The films segues to the end titles with the sound of approaching police sirens.

Production[link]
The film is one of Hitchcock's most experimental and "one of the most interesting experiments ever attempted by a major director working with big box-office names",[3] abandoning many standard film techniques to allow for the long unbroken scenes. Each shot ran continuously for up to ten minutes without interruption. It was shot on a single set, aside from the opening establishing shot street scene under the credits. Camera moves were carefully planned and there was almost no editing.
The walls of the set were on rollers and could silently be moved out of the way to make way for the camera and then replaced when they were to come back into shot. Prop men constantly had to move the furniture and other props out of the way of the large Technicolor camera, and then ensure they were replaced in the correct location. A team of soundmen and camera operators kept the camera and microphones in constant motion, as the actors kept to a carefully choreographed set of cues.[1]
The extraordinary cyclorama in the background was the largest backing ever used on a sound stage.[1] It included models of the Empire State and the Chrysler buildings. Numerous chimneys smoke, lights come on in buildings, neon signs light up, and the sunset slowly unfolds as the movie progressed. Within the course of the film the clouds—made of spun glass—change position and shape eight times.[1]
Long takes[link]
Hitchcock shot for periods lasting up to ten minutes (the length of a film camera magazine), continuously panning from actor to actor, though most shots in the film wound up being shorter.[4] Every other segment ends by panning against or tracking into an object—a man's jacket blocking the entire screen, or the back of a piece of furniture, for example. In this way, Hitchcock effectively masked half the cuts in the film.
However, at the end of 20 minutes (two magazines of film make one reel of film on the projector in the movie theater), the projectionist—when the film was shown in theaters—had to change reels. On these changeovers, Hitchcock cuts to a new camera setup, deliberately not disguising the cut. A description of the beginning and end of each segment follows.
| Segment | Length | Time-Code | Start | Finish |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 09:34 | 00:02:30 | CU (Close-Up), strangulation | Blackout on Brandon's back |
| 2 | 07:51 | 00:11:59 | Black, pan off Brandon's back | CU Kenneth: "What do you mean?" |
| 3 | 07:18 | 00:19:45 | Unmasked cut, men crossing to Janet | Blackout on Kenneth's back |
| 4 | 07:08 | 00:27:15 | Black, pan off Kenneth's back | CU Phillip: "That's a lie." |
| 5 | 09:57 | 00:34:34 | Unmasked cut, CU Rupert | Blackout on Brandon's back |
| 6 | 07:33 | 00:44:21 | Black, pan off Brandon's back | Three shot |
| 7 | 07:46 | 00:51:56 | Unmasked cut, Mrs. Wilson: "Excuse me, sir." | Blackout on Brandon |
| 8 | 10:06 | 00:59:44 | Black, pan off Brandon | CU Brandon's hand in gun pocket |
| 9 | 04:37 | 01:09:51 | Unmasked cut, CU Rupert | Blackout on lid of chest |
| 10 | 05:38 | 01:14:35 | Black, pan up from lid of chest | End of film |
Hitchcock told François Truffaut in the book-length Hitchcock/Truffaut (Simon & Schuster, 1967) that he ended up re-shooting the last four or five segments because he was dissatisfied with the color of the sunset.
Hitchcock used this long-take approach again to a lesser extent on his next film, Under Capricorn (1949) and in a very limited way in his film Stage Fright (1950).
Director's cameo[link]
File:Rope cameo screenshot.jpg
Hitchcock's cameo appearance as a red neon sign, in the far distance, with his famous profile above the word "Reduco", a fictitious weight-loss product
Alfred Hitchcock's cameo is a signature occurrence in most of his films. In this film, Hitchcock is considered by some to make two appearances,[5] according to Arthur Laurents in the documentary Rope Unleashed, available on the DVD. Laurents says that Hitchcock is a man walking down a Manhattan street in the opening scene, immediately after the title sequence.
At about fifty-three minutes into the film, a red neon sign in the far background showing Hitchcock's profile with "Reduco",[6] the fictitious weight loss product used in his Lifeboat (1944) cameo, starts blinking; as the guests are escorted to the door actors Joan Chandler and Douglas Dick stop to have a few words, the sign appears and disappears in the background several times, right between their visages, right under the eyes of the spectators.
Themes[link]
Homosexual subtext[link]
Even though homosexuality was a highly controversial theme for the 1940s, the movie made it past the Production Code censors; during the film's production, those involved described homosexuality as "it".[2] However, many towns chose to ban it independently, memories of Leopold and Loeb still being fresh in some people's minds. Dall and Granger were actually gay in real life, as was screenwriter Arthur Laurents—even the piano score played by Granger (Mouvement Perpétuel No. 1 by Francis Poulenc) was the work of a gay composer.
The fact that the two characters were inspired by Leopold and Loeb, who some speculated were homosexual, only furthers the argument that Brandon and Philip were meant to be gay as well.[7]
Nietzsche[link]
The film is based on the idea that one might murder someone just to prove that one could. Some film scholarship[citation needed] has found links between this idea and literature and philosophy. Suggestions have been made that Crime and Punishment and its protagonist Raskolnikov form a subtext to the film—whereby the film parallels the idea of murdering just for the sake of performing the act (the term "Crime and Punishment" is used by Granger in the film). References to Nietzsche abound throughout the film, particularly to his idea of the superman.
Reception[link]
In 1948, Variety magazine said "Hitchcock could have chosen a more entertaining subject with which to use the arresting camera and staging technique displayed in Rope".[8] That same year, Bosley Crowther of The New York Times said the "novelty of the picture is not in the drama itself, it being a plainly deliberate and rather thin exercise in suspense, but merely in the method which Mr. Hitchcock has used to stretch the intended tension for the length of the little stunt" for a "story of meager range".[9] Nearly 36 years later, Vincent Canby, also of The New York Times, called the "seldom seen" and "underrated" film "full of the kind of self-conscious epigrams and breezy ripostes that once defined wit and decadence in the Broadway theater"; it's a film "less concerned with the characters and their moral dilemmas than with how they look, sound and move, and with the overall spectacle of how a perfect crime goes wrong".[10]
In the Time magazine 1948 review, the play that the film was based on is called an "intelligent and hideously exciting melodrama" though "in turning it into a movie for mass distribution, much of the edge [is] blunted":[11]
- Much of the play's deadly excitement dwelt in [the] juxtaposition of callow brilliance and lavender dandyism with moral idiocy and brutal horror. Much of its intensity came from the shocking change in the teacher, once he learned what was going on. In the movie, the boys and their teacher are shrewdly plausible but much more conventional types. Even so, the basic idea is so good and, in its diluted way, Rope is so well done that it makes a rattling good melodrama.
Roger Ebert wrote in 1984, "Alfred Hitchcock called Rope an 'experiment that didn’t work out', and he was happy to see it kept out of release for most of three decades", but went on to say that "'Rope' remains one of the most interesting experiments ever attempted by a major director working with big box-office names, and it's worth seeing [...]".[3]
A 2001 BBC review of that year's DVD release called the film "technically and socially bold" and pointed out that given "how primitive the Technicolor process was back then", the DVD's image quality is "by those standards quite astonishing"; the release's "2.0 mono mix" was clear and reasonably strong, though "distortion creeps into the music".[12]
In his article "Remembering When", Antonio Damasio argues that the time frame covered by the movie, which lasts 80 minutes and is supposed to be in "real time", is actually longer - a little more than 100 minutes.[13] This, he states, is accomplished by speeding up the action: the formal dinner lasts only 20 minutes, the sun sets too quickly and so on.
Although the film was made during a period where reference to homosexuality was prohibited by the Production Code, more recent reviews and criticism explicitly note the homosexual subtext of the relationship between Brandon and Phillip.[10][14]
Film rights[link]
The original distributor of Rope was Warner Bros. as part of their distribution deal with Transatlantic Pictures. In his 1967 book-length interview Hitchcock/Truffaut, Hitchcock said that MGM had acquired the rights and was planning to re-release it. The film was out of distribution from roughly 1968 to 1983. Transatlantic originally owned the film's copyright, which was renewed by United Artists Television (UATV) in 1975.[15]
The rights had reverted to the Hitchcock estate from UATV, which at that time held rights to the pre-1950 Warner Bros. films.[16][17] The film was re-released in October 1983 by Universal Studios, along with other Hitchcock films that were originally out of circulation for years: Rear Window, Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and The Trouble With Harry. Home video releases still list UATV as the copyright holder. This is the only film from the a.a.p. library to not be owned by Turner Entertainment Co.
Novelization[link]
A novelization of the film was released by Dell Publishing in 1948. Alfred Hitchcock is credited as the author.[citation needed]
