Rope Question

A lot has been written regarding Rope's long and uncut scenes. The scene breaks occur as the camera quickly fades out and then back in on a flat background such as an actor's coat. In the DVD version I saw, the pauses between scenes were exaggerated, with a black blurry background appearing for a second or two.

But in its original theater presentation the scene breaks would coincide with the change of reels, so a sharp projectionist might be able to do make the switch quickly and make the entire movie flow almost seamlessly as one long scene. I wonder if that was Hitch's vision for this film, and whether watching it flow as one marathon scene would change anyone's opinion of the cinematic experience.
