Yeah, they stay with Bogart in every scene, or almost, near by outside a room. And it's over a fairly short period of time. So it's not real time. Rope is a real time film.
Well, thanks for the info. TBS is a great film!

DRACULA (1931). For Xmas, my Supervisor got me a six pack of the Classic Universal Monsters, saying to me how he was "...taking a chance You might have these!" The set includes D, FRANKENSTEIN, THE MUMMY, THE INVISIBLE MAN, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN and THE WOLF MAN. While I do have all of them, this edition does have real sharp picture quality and additional Special Features, which will make this a keeper.
As I've said before, DRACULA is a well made film with SO MANY good moments and then so much dullness...so incredibly stagey and showing Director Todd Browning's inexperience/unease with Talkies. But the good is so good (particularly in the Castle) that I'll just usually read while the dull stuff is playing and still throw out the for Bela Lugosi and Dwight Frye. **1/2

Next up is FRANKENSTEIN....
