ROPE (1948) ft. Alicia Malone // The Hitch is Back

Published on: 28th November, 2023

Time to close out our time with Alfred Hitchcock with maybe the most Hitchcockian film Rope! We're joined by film author Alicia Malone (TCM Host) as we break down the queer themes, the innovative filmmaking techniques, and the film as Hitchcock's cinematic thesis on suspense. Don't open that trunk, just listen to the episode!
