“Lennon had attitude, and, taking his lead from Lennon, McCartney could be similar. At times, they reminded me of those well-to-do Chicago lads Leopold and Loeb, who killed someone because they felt superior to him. Lennon and McCartney were ‘superior human beings’.”

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

There are ads for every possible newspaper section, from sports to financials. Some of these are hilariously random and have nothing to do with the plot of the movie. Two of my personal favourites:
