Rebet [Rope] - Danish Film Programme

Price: £600.00
Copenhagen: Warner Bros, nd [1950?]. First Edition / First Impression. Paperback. Near fine condition. A lovely copy with the string intact. Very uncommon. 8pp. Rope was Hitchcock's 38th (?) film, and based on a 1929 Patrick Hamilton story. It didn't review well, but is remembered now for its pioneering long takes, stitched nicely together, which of course sees the story play out in real time. The booklet is in excellent shape with some wear to the edges and a little rusting to the staples. Holes around the 'rope' are a little puckered. Author attribution is for the screenplay / original novel, it's most likely though that this was written internally by Warner Bros. A fun piece of cinema history in which the design does more than advertise the film - it participates in its most memorable idea.. Near Fine. Item #13621
