 Alfred Hitchcock - Rope (1948) | Movie Review
The party guests in the single-set drama include the father (Cedric Hardwicke) and the aunt (Constance Collier) of the dead man, his fiancee (Joan Chandler), and, most important, the one-time school housemaster and now publisher (Stewart) whose Nietzschean spoutings in the past lighted the fuse for the killing in the minds of
In a cat-and-mouse game with the killers, the publisher bores small, large, and larger holes in their sangfroid until he reveals the truth and, denying that his ideas were ever meant to justify homicide, summons the police.
"With the exception of Hardwicke and Collier, who were pretty along in years and who thought the whole thing was a lark that they hadn't been exposed to before, it got very tense at times" says Granger.

 Alfred Hitchcock - Downhill (1927) | Movie Review
Eliot Stannard, from the play by David L'Estrange [Ivor Novello], Constance Collier
Yet this adaptation of a play Novello co-penned (under the name David L'Estrange) with Constance Collier perfectly exploits his matinee status as it depicts his decline from public school hero to Marseilles bum - all in the name of honour.
Exploring social hypocrisy and the chasm that seperates the classes (both in monetary and moral terms), Hitchcock proves himself again the master of psychological insight, while his use of location (particularly during the theatre and nightclub sequences) is impeccable.
