MSN Encarta - Alfred Hitchcock In the murder drama Rope (1948) Hitchcock attempted to shoot an entire feature film in what appears to be one continuous shot. Hitchcock, Sir Alfred Joseph (1899-1980), British-born American motion-picture director and producer, noted for his technically innovative and psychologically complex thrillers. Hitchcock used a full array of cinematic techniques in addition to montage to manipulate his audience, including unusual camera angles and carefully placed sound effects. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761571978/Alfred_Hitchcock.html   (625 words)

Hitchcock's Cameos in His Films Alfred Hitchcock made a total of 37 self-referential cameos in his films over a 50 year period (from 1926-1976), if one counts his narration at the start of The Wrong Man (1956). Hitchcock appears to be arguing with an elderly woman and accusedly pointing his finger. Hitchcock's first appearance was in his third film, The Lodger (1926), and then in just six more of his British films. www.filmsite.org /hitchcockcameos.html   (784 words)

Rope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rope is also the title of a movie by Alfred Hitchcock Dynamic ropes are made to stretch as much as 50% of their unloaded length, which is crucial for limiting the maximum force experienced by a climber that falls when using one (and also the maximum force experienced by any piece of gear securing the climber to the rock or ice). A pulley is used to convert the pulling force to another direction, and multiple pulleys may be used to increase the mechanical advantage, allowing the pulling or lifting of heavy loads with limited force and strength of rope. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rope   (1204 words)

Alfred Hitchcock - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch His films are known for featuring Alfred Hitchcock in cameos in the film — a technique used by other directors and writers including Colin Dexter in the ITV Inspector Morse series. Many of Hitchcock's films contain a cameo appearance by Hitchcock himself: the director would be seen for a brief moment boarding a bus, crossing in front of a building, standing in an apartment across the courtyard, or appearing in a photograph. The film was actually shot in eight takes of approximately 10 minutes each, which was the amount of film that would fit in a single camera reel; the transitions between reels were hidden by having a dark object fill the entire screen for a moment. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /alfred_hitchcock.htm   (3610 words)

DVD Review - Rope ’Rope’ would certainly never be ranked in the same class as Alfred Hitchcock’s best works but, as something of an experiment on the part of the director, it remains a very interesting film on a number of levels. But the aspect of this film that was most controversial at the time and was, in fact, censored to the point of only vague innuendo is the homosexual relationship between the two killers and, perhaps, their mentor. Film grain is evident but never too distracting and the use of edge enhancement is mercifully restrained as well. www.dvdreview.com /fullreviews/rope.shtml   (915 words)

Rope Movie: Rope DVD is available from Bestprices.com ROPE is a masterfully directed Alfred Hitchcock production about two college students who murder a classmate in a bizarre experiment.

Alfred Hitchcock's Rope [Archive] - Film Threat Back Talk Forums I think Hitchcock meant Rope to be a comment on the use of capital punishment as much as anything else. She looked at her textbook and pointed at "Rope", saying that it would be very boring to have so few shots.

Biography By the time it was shown Granger was making Rope (co-starring James Stewart and John Dall) for Alfred Hitchcock and had been signed by an impressed Goldwyn to a five-year contract. Though he lived in Europe, he went back to Hollywood for The Naked Street and The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing. So Sam Goldwyn suspended him; but while the unfortunate Richard Greene was landed in this dreadful Lorna, Granger was being sought by Hitchcock for Strangers on a Train ('51), as the socialite tennis-champ embroiled by Robert Walker in his murderous plans. www.geocities.com /farleygrangerscrapbook/biography.htm   (1662 words)

Hitchcock, Alfred : Hitch's most ingenious appearance I think that hitchcock's most in-genius cameo was in the film "Rope" where 1:46 m in to the film a neon sign with his famous profile appeares at the background of the city! Hitchcock, of course, did cameos in all of his films, often making fun of his girth (such as boarding a train while toting a double bass in "North By Northwest"). His most ingenious was in the film "Lifeboat," which took place in an open boat at sea. www.eeggs.com /items/29412.html   (375 words)
