Rope and King Creole

Too many movies. I really shouldn't be recording these ahead of time because then I watch them.

Rope is a Hitchcock movie about two thinly veiled (at best) gay guys who choke a friend to death and then throw a party over the trunk they placed him in. It is known for an early example of homosexual characters in film and also for very few film cuts.

King Creole is an Elvis movie with Dolores Hart as his co-star. It is pretty good. An interesting fact is that Dolores Hart is a nun now in Connecticut.

Rope is a fantastic movie. One of my favorite Hitchcock films.

I like the whole bare-bones feeling to it. One set. One camera. That kind of thing.

Actually, what did you think of the whole continuous shot thing he was going for?
