Hitchcock Put the Spoilers to His Own Movie in the Trailer for Rope
If you’re a fan of Hitchcock’s suspenseful thrillers, you might find the trailer for Rope to be a little weird. It basically reveals the entire plot of the movie. What’s even weirder is that it was directed by Hitchcock himself. He reasoned that the trailer showcases the movie’s plot point by saying that he was tired of trailers trying to convince audiences to watch films with words and mind games.
Hitchcock’s movie was experimental; however, it did not do well as he had hoped. The trailer for the film included a section where everything about the story was explained – who the characters were and who the two killers are.
