Episode 835: Lambcast #823 Rope-August/MOTM

It's hard to go wrong with an Alfred Hitchcock film as the subject of your movie conversation, and this week's episode proves that. Howard Casner, Matt Simpson, and Dave Anderson tie themselves into knots trying to explain the attraction of this film. Is it the Approach that Hitchcock took in filming the movie? Maybe it is the creepy philosophy the antagonists use to justify their depravity. We had a big difference of opinion on whether the performances might account for the merits of the film, did one actor reveal the frays in the film?. We go down a few rabbit holes in search of movies that use similar approaches and of course we talk about a few other movies made by the actors and director. It's a compelling conversation, there is subtext and drama a plenty.
