The guest who's dead on time.
John Dall and Farley Granger, two gay students, murder a friend in their luxury apartment. They then throw a cocktail party, and serve drinks to the victim's father and girlfriend from the trunk in which the corpse is concealed. Their professor, James Stewart is also a guest at the party. The film was shot entirely in one room and the end result is an extraordinary gripping thriller, typical in its originality of the master, Alfred Hitchcock.
