Rope

Crime drama. Two young men kill a school friend and then invite the dead boy's father and fiancee to a party in the room where the corpse is hidden.

Two young men kill a weak school friend merely for the intellectual thrill of it and then invite the dead boy's father and fiancee for a party in the room where the corpse is hidden.

Based on the true story of the Leopold-Loeb murder case, the film is famous for the fact that it appears to be one continuous shot of 80 minutes.
