Remake This...
"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." ("Rope Movie Review & Film Summary (1948) | Roger Ebert") The reception for the failed experiment wasn't all that glowing either. Variety hoped that "Hitchcock could have chosen a more entertaining subject with which to use the arresting camera and staging technique displayed..." ("Rope | Variety") "It is in such a delicate position that [Hitchcock's] neck now appears to be lodged in the consequence of his having stretched it in his new film..." although Bosley Crowther of The New York Times admitted that "the emphasis on the macabre in this small story is frightfully intense." The homosexual subtext makes "Rope" an even greater candidate to be remade in the context of the original vision of the 1929 play
