Rope is a 1959 Australian TV play based on the play by Patrick Hamilton. It was part of Shell Presents.
Two friends, Charles and Wyndham, murder someone for fun.
The play was adapted by American actor-playwright John Glennon who also played one of the lead roles. Sydney model Feil Wittman made her acting debut as Simone.
The Sydney Morning Herald critic praised "John Glennon' s clever, perceptive and highly mannered performance... and the tensions which producer Rod Kinnear was able to generate by some thoughtful camera work, and some very skilful organisation on a large and attractive set."
