Rope

 

Yes this is still unsettling after decades. The original murder scene with the body of the victim just going limp and then nothing. 

I think John Dall's Brandon bears a  resemblance to Ben Affleck I think  this actually added to the unease I felt.  Rope felt more contemporary than Rear Window

The  actor ( Cedric Hardwicke)  who plays the father of the young man who is killed. Also caught my eye - he speaks against Brandon's rant about unworthy life. Stewart as the ex prep  master who joked about killing Hotel clerks and finally realizes the horror of what has happened

There is no reward for the murder except a sense of pride. Not sex, or money 

I note two bachelors can afford a maid, and also the maid wears her apron tied in a bow. Which would draw attention to her rear- The two bachelors were also expected to neck chickens  

We see something of the military man in Stewart- you don't miss from that far.
