Extras:

• Rope Unleashed (SD, 32 minutes): Collaborator/treatment writer Hume Cronyn, screenwriter Arthur Laurents and actor Farley Granger (Phillip Morgan) dig into Hitchcock's adaptation of Patrick Hamilton's stage play, the homosexuality inherent in the film (dubbed "It" by the studio execs), the performances, Hitch's continuous long takes, the obstacles the tricky takes created, and much more. But the documentary is more notable for Laurents' criticism of the final cut. The screenwriter grumbles about decisions made by Hitchcock and the cast, complains about several performances, gripes about changes made to his script, and explains how his version of the film would have played out differently.
• Production Photographs (SD, 8 minutes): Movie posters, vintage ads and production photos.
• Theatrical Trailer (SD, 2 minutes)
