Rope (1948)
Rope Tells the story of two young, wealthy men, Brandon and Philip, who strangle and murder a friend and this was to see if they could get away with this murder.
They then invite other close friends (including the murdered mans parent) to their apartment for a dinner part, whilst hiding the body in a chest in the living area.
The suspense is created through the body in the chest as the audience knows that the body is in there but know one else does except the two murders.
Maguffins
A Maguffin (sometimes Mcguffin or Macguffin) is a plot device that motivates the characters and advances the story, but has little other relevance to the story.
"we have a name in the studio: and we call it a 'Mcguffin' it is the medicinal element that usually crops up in any story. In crock stories it is always the necklace in the spy stories it is always the papers"
