backstage scene on the ‘Rope’ sound stage in 1948.<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. In 1948, Alfred Hitchcock produced a film called ‘Rope’. I saw it recently – twice – on TV. It seemed odd to me and I wrote it off as an early attempt to recreate \u00a0a play as a movie.<\/p>\n

It was only when I read the July 1948 American Cinematographer<\/a> article that I appreciated just how ground-breaking the movie was and why it seemed so strange to me today.<\/p>\n

Read about it here<\/a> or visit the American Cinematographer<\/a> site.<\/p>\n
