Farley Granger is okay, but John Dall is playing it so broad that its incredibly distracting. So many mannerisms and tics from one guy. <br /><br /><br />Good, well done movie.

Barry showed me this about 25 years ago, and it has always been one of my favorite Hitchcock, Stewart, and offbeat films (it's somewhere near my top-100). You mentioned all things that make it great...Granger coming hilariously unhinged, Hitch's style, cinematography, and penthouse set (with city view), and most of all is Stewart's acting as he puts the pieces together and then blows. Oh, and don't forget John Dall's uniquely creepy screen presence. There is no other film quite like "Rope", and it's a must for fans of Stewart, Hitchcock, film study, or those who want to know where homosexuality can get you (just kidding).
