I didn't think it would be able to hold my attention; black and white, several decades old, and filmed in a single room..no thanks.

But then I started watching and got sucked in. Before I knew it I was hanging on every word and was completely mesmerised. It's an incredible movie.

Check out lifeboat (1944) for a similar and exceptional film. It's directed by Hitchcock and also takes place entirely in a single scene. The basic concept is a u-boat sinks a merchant ship and the survivors in a lifeboat pick up one of the crew members of the u-boat that sank them. It's a great film and one I highly recommend.
