and Jimmy Stewart is one of my favorite actors!
The whole thing has always struck me as phony, but I'm definitely in the minority and can live with that.
Rope has some faults because of how it was devised, but its strengths lay there as well as in a play. A live audience would have taken it up a notch. The undertones of relationships and interactions of the characters drive it, and it's as much of a psychological mindfook as Hitchcock did, peppered with some of the most "average", boring people one can imagine. You see and read every day about crimes still performed by guys with the sense of entitlement that the main protagonists displayed like peacock feathers.
Rope is NOT a film of suspense; that dead body is possibly Hichcock's greatest Mcguffin!
