Based on the sensational Leopold and Loeb murder of 1924 and later adapted into Alfred Hitchcock's classic film, Patrick Hamilton's Rope paints a macabre yet wickedly humorous portrait of murder as an artform to be enjoyed by superior beings. When young men Wyndham Brandon and Charles Granillo strangle their fellow undergraduate and then throw a party around the chest in which the murdered man resides, viewers are left to wonder if the rule-making elite are indeed superior enough to get away with the perfect crime.
