Alfred Hitchcock's 'Rope' (1948) is technically renowned for being edited to appear as one continuous take, using long takes stitched together. This required careful planning and minimal camera cuts, making it shot in very few takes relative to conventional films. The other options are incorrect - it was not Hitchcock's first 3D film (that came later), nor the first to use non-linear editing, and the screenplay was adapted from a play, not a novel by Hitchcock.
