According to an article in the Sunday (September 25) Chicago Tribune
Magazine section, "Rope" was filmed in 10 minute segments at a time.
The 10 minute limit had to do with the amount of film that could be
loaded into the camera.  So each 10 minute segment was filmed, the
camera was reloaded, and then the next segment was filmed.  I could
dig up the article if you are interested.
