I just watched Hitch's Rope, which I'd never seen all the way through before. Good crime movie, fairly lean. There's a scene at the beginning where the two not-at-all-gay-killers have just murdered their friend David. John Dall's character looks especially ecstatic, and he lights up a cigarette. I think most people back then got the subtext, they ust thought they were the only ones who did.

It's been a long time since I last saw it but I do remember 'Rope' as one of Hitchcock's more exceptional movies. He was very good at setting up claustrophobic situations.
Nice FR10.. at least the ones I know fairly well. Nellie McKay followed by Dave van Ronk is an interesting juxtaposition.
It's a damnably clever movie, and the feeling of being constantly in motion, even in such a limited space, is quite powerful.
Those are both good songs but yes, very different.
