Oh hell yeah! Relatively speaking Rope was a “new” Hitchcock for me first watching it like only a couple years ago. But I’ve probably watched it at least 6 times since. Might watch it again today!
New pod is here!!
Join us as we sit down with the wonderful Michael Koresky to discuss Hitchcock’s ROPE—which Michael writes about extensively in his fantastic new book, Sick and Dirty: Hollywood’s Gay Golden Age and the Making of Modern Queerness
