Directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Jimmy Stewart, “Rope” begins with two roommates strangling someone and hiding the body in a chest in their living room. They then proceed to have a party — with a corpse hidden in the room. 

We watch with bated breath as characters slowly start to suspect the truth, and cringe when they use the improvised coffin as a bar.

“Rope” was also a technical experiment: Hitchcock wanted the film to look as if it all took place within a single shot, so he filmed scenes in very long takes. There are only ten cuts in the whole film (most movies contain hundreds).
