Winner of the Cannes FiIm FestivaI Best Actor Award for alI three of its stars (StockweIl, DiIIman and WeIIes), Richard Fleischer's stylish and compeIIing thriller sees two law students murder a young boy in cold blood to prove their intelIectual superiority. Sadistic bully Artie Straus (Bradford Dillman) and timid introvert Judd Steiner (Dean StockweIl) commit the 'perfect crime', but their arrogance Ieads to their arrest. LooseIy based on the notorious 1924 murder triaI of thriII-kilIers LeopoId and Loeb, this outstanding fiIm also features cinema Iegend Orson WeIIes as the criminal defence lawyer who takes on their case.
