Wasn't an earlier Hitchcock film, Rope, also in just one setting?

Yes it was. It was also shot in real time. Each scene lasting between 7 and 10 minutes (10 was the length of a reel of film). The walls of the set were on wheels so they could be moved once they were out of the shot, to allow for the continuous takes, and moved back when they were about to come back into the shot.
