RE: Rope Question

When I saw it about 20 years ago at a lovely repertory theatre it had just recently been restored, and where the
cinematography was great and it was a fine print, I don't remember it "flowing" any better than the recent version I saw on TCM.

I think the emphasis put on that technique and Hithcock's determination to utilize it must have detracted from the overall quality
of the film (even Stewart was dull and stiff!), but maybe the impact of that shooting style did have a riveting effect on the original audience.

That effect seems to have worn off over the years.
