Here's an incredibly high-quality scan of the Warner Bros. Pressbook for Rope. This is honestly an insane find. 41 pages full of interesting production info, a bunch of new pictures, and the most fascinating part: WB's very elaborate suggestions for giant advertising campaigns to promote the movie. I really, really wanna know how many of these were actually used by theaters because there are so many, ranging from genius to goofy.

I highly recommend downloading the PDF and reading through the whole thing. Here are some of the highlights:

I can’t stop thinking about Will Darling and Kim Secretan and all their scars both visible and invisible and how much they’re made for each other if only Kim would get his head out of his ass and realise that he doesn’t need to make himself suffer to ‘atone’ for things.

Characters I’d love to lock in a room together and observe from a distance (top to bottom, left to right): Nicky Rook from “Death in the Spires”, Kim Secretan from “The Will Darling Adventures”, Daniel da Silva from “Think of England”….and technically also the will darling adventures I guess,, and last but not least - anachronistic grandpa Julius Norreys from “A Society of Gentlemen” In other news: Ive got the KJC brainworms. again.
