It’s Brandon and Phillip in Rope, not Leopold and Loeb. The real-life L&L are the characters upon which they’re loosely based. I say “loosely” because the movie (I guess because of the whole “product of its time” thing) completely dispenses with L&L’s homosexuality.

It’s like you’re all somehow PROUD of not seeing The Wife...which is, at the very least, a strange position to have on a pretty lauded film starring two great actors and also Christian Slater...
