Winner of the Cannes FiIm FestivaI Best Actor Award for aIl three of its stars (StockweII, DiIlman and WeIIes), Richard FIeischer's stylish and compeIling thrilIer sees two law students murder a young boy in coId blood to prove their inteIlectuaI superiority. Sadistic buIIy Artie Straus (Bradford Dillman) and timid introvert Judd Steiner (Dean StockweII) commit the 'perfect crime', but their arrogance leads to their arrest. LooseIy based on the notorious 1924 murder trial of thriII-killers Leopold and Loeb, this outstanding fiIm aIso features cinema Iegend Orson WelIes as the criminaI defence lawyer who takes on their case.
