The film Rope (made by Alfred Hitchcock) It tells the story of two young, wealthy men, Brandon and Phillip, who strangle and murder a friend of theirs just to see if they can get away with it. They then invite other close friends (including the murdered man's parents) to their apartment for a dinner party, whilst hiding the body in a chest/box in their sitting room, just to see if they can get away with it.
The suspense is created through the body in the chest/box. What will happen? Will the body (and the two men ) be discovered and brought to justice? Do we, the audience even want this to happen?
