What is Easy Virtue / Rope about?

Double Feature: EASY VIRTUE, 1927, British Film Institute, 69 min. Dir. Alfred Hitchcock. Suspected of adultery, Larita Filton (Isabel Jeans) is divorced by her husband and flees the scandal for France, where she meets a young man (Robin Irvine) unaware of her past. They marry, but soon Larita’s reputation as a woman of “easy virtue” returns to haunt her. A restoration by the BFI National Archive in association with ITV Studios Global Entertainment and Park Circus Films. With live musical accompaniment. ROPE, 1948, Universal, 80 min. Dir. Alfred Hitchcock. This startling Alfred Hitchcock film was doubly daring for 1948: First, it risked depicting the Leopold & Loeb-like tale of homosexual lovers committing murder solely for the thrill of it. If that wasn’t enough, it told the tale in a series of long, 10-minute takes, unlike anything any director had previously attempted. With James Stewart, Farley Granger and John Dall (GUN CRAZY).
