Alfred Hitchcock Discusses Filming The Long Takes In 'Rope' | The Dick Cavett Show

[@357twilson]

2:26-2:28 the most animated you’ll ever see Hitchcock. The man never changed his demeanor in public.

[@johnperrigo6474]

Yes, so true. I just watched it and was very surprised by his expression at that point.

[@oldhatcinema]

"No one in a costume picture ever goes to the toilet." I cannot get over Hitch's acquired sense of humor. Love the man.

[@tyrannostoragerex3637]

Rope is a fascinating picture. If you haven't seen it, go out of your way to track it down.

Really a breath of fresh air, circa 1972. Thank you, Dick Cavett Show! Nowadays its all "Hey, your new thing!" - "Yeah yeah! I mean like.." - "Hahaha right? Watch the trailer consume product".

[@debbieking5171]

Hitchcock was a master. There will never be another like him.

[@MADEcurious777]

Rope is my favorite Hitchcock film among many. In addition to Stewart, Dall, and Farley, all of the supporting cast members were flawlessly chosen with their performances adding so much variety, subtly, and sincerity. I enjoy and study wine. The fact that Veuve Clicquot is the special "champagne" ( a highly respected and luxury wine) adds to the sense of the indulgent rich who from their perspectives, probably see the apartment and its contents, including the Veuve and the high-end spirits and cut glass set, as perhaps not ordinary but expected.

[@avikazak655]

Same, i agree with the super humans quotes in it

[@gabrielidusogie9189]

Hitchcock and Orson Welles have such iconic voices within the world of film.

Keep these awesome interviews coming!

[@forevers1238]

Agreed! Though I should point out (because this channel doesn't!) for fans of the show that it is available on Amazon Prime, you do need another subscription but it is quite inexpensive, about 2.99 GBP a month on top of amazon prime which is about 3.99 (I've got student amazon prime).

[@HabAnagarek]

I love watching him describing and miming his shots of his films that at this point are years old! He really was a master.

HITCHCOCK 'S MASTERPIECE THEATER!!! NO ONE CAN DO WHAT THIS MAN ACHIEVED, A LEGENDARY GENIUS, A MAN BEFORE HIS TIME!!!

[@cwjohnson1356]

I like his little touches are so simple and complex at the same time

[@elizabethgalligan1805]

Hitch was the best... Rope was a fascinating film. One of my favourites😊👏👏

[@MoebiusUK]

He’s a genius. His impact on cinema is unsurpassed. He’s on par with ‘Akira Kurosawa’ and ‘Buster Keaton’.

[@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747]

I believe that along Eisenstein's montage, Hitchcock's approach to suspense is the most influential and important aportation to filmmaking.

I agree ROPE is real good, one of my HITCHCOCK favorites.

[@paulvankernebeek2014]

Alfred Hitchcock is so funny, he is sadly missed R.I.P.

[@65g4]

These interviews with Hitch are fascinating

[@maykala2963]

Every movie that he made was a masterpiece, and sadly, there will never be another Alfred Hitchcock

[@Paul_Wetor]

I like how Dick Cavett leads his interviewee into stories. He knows the entire story, but doesn't blab it himself, he lets his guess tell it.

[@j.walker6845]

Wow, look at Hitchcock, utterly composed

[@elizabethgalligan1805]

He should have won at least 1 oscar. Brilliant director 😊👍🏻

[@oliverholmes-gunning5372]

I wonder if Scorsese was referencing Rope in the scene in Goodfellas when they all stop off at Catherine Scorsese's for dinner, and then the camera pans round in a long take and then out through the window to the trunk with Billy Batts' corpse inside?

[@DMalltheway]

That’s a really good point, never thought of it

[@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747]

Well, he definitely was quoting Hitch on Taxi Driver. The scene where Robert De Niro is chasing Cybill Shepherd through New York is so reminiscent of Vertigo.

[@RM-tl7gm]

Probably, Scorcesse is a walking library

[@Bigfrank88]

One underrated Hitchcock that I know Scorsese is a huuuge fan of is The Wrong Man, which is full of anxiety inducing camera work.

[@Tmanaz480]

Hitch was so dry and wry. Cavett's show is the perfect format for showing him off.

[@linengray]

Thank you for these videos. I miss this show so much. Please upload more.

[@crazyman8472]

“If people don’t like the picture, it doesn’t matter who is in it.” ‘Nuff said. 😎

This movie is on Amazon prime video in 4k and def worth a a watch. One of his best IMO.

[@nabeelmirza6060]

Damn!! He is my kind of funny. My most favorite director.

[@VerstlBuckhide]

I watched the movie and it's so intriguing and masterfully directed and recorded. The long takes are something that is so artfully unique and inspiring.

[@maryellencouse7592]

In my opinion, the best director of all time. You can rewatch his films numerous times and still marvel at them. Works of art.

[@Llllltryytcc]

Although I may be the only person on Earth, I wasn't crazy about Vertigo so I put off hitch for a long time. Recently I gave "The Birds" a go. Might be the most perfectly crafted movie i've ever seen.

@@Llllltryytcc Vertigo is my least favorite of all his films. North by Northwest is my favorite along with Stage Fright.

[@Progger11]

Rope is oddly underrated in Hitchcock's filmography. I've even heard people say it isn't very good. Very upsetting. I think it's just fantastic!

[@marymagdalene3004]

I thought it was a crappy movie and boring as can be! What does the audience care about if a scene was done in one sweep? How does that add to the enjoyment therefrom unless one was wanting to learn trivia?

[@tennissir1986]

This was one true genius.

[@Millienfilm81]

[@ksw4942]

I would’ve loved to see him direct an Agatha Christie movie. Both mystery geniuses!

[@carloslozada470]

He made a cameo in all his films

[@laslalal8451]

Keep in mind, when this interview was televised, Hitchcock had pulled Rope (along with four of his other movies) out of circulation. It only became as widely available as it is today starting in 1984. Apparently he said he would re-release the picture(s) after his death so he and his films could be talked about again after he was gone. And you know what? It worked, the cheeky bastard.

[@lintonbubbawest]

[@oliverholmes-gunning5372]

1:15 Not sure if that's always true. All I can say is of the three actresses I have done romantic scenes with, one was a close friend whom I regarded more as a sister than anything, one I barely spoke to outside of work and one I actively disliked (and I'm pretty sure the feeling was mutual). Maybe I just haven't lived enough...

It's too bad they can't cut to show you the scenes they are talking about. I know the movies and have a photographic memory - so I see the scene as he discusses it. But it would be helpful for others.

I'm trying to watch these in a 4:3 monitor and it's quite annoying there are blackbars to make it 16:9, which makes a black frame in my monitor, since the show was recorded in 4:3 why not upload them all in high res 4:3? It makes no difference for those watching in 16:9
