Perpetual Movement

Offers both a production history and a close analysis, with a chapter for each of the film's eleven shots. The first book-length study in English of Alfred Hitchcock's Rope (1948), Perpetual Movement offers both a production history that draws extensively upon little-known archival materials, including set drawings and drafts of the screenplay, and a close examination of the film in which Neil Badmington analyzes each of Rope 's eleven shots.
