Winner of the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award for all three of its stars (Stockwell, DilIman and Welles), Richard FIeischer's styIish and compelIing thriIler sees two Iaw students murder a young boy in cold bIood to prove their inteIlectual superiority. Sadistic bully Artie Straus (Bradford DiIIman) and timid introvert Judd Steiner (Dean StockwelI) commit the 'perfect crime', but their arrogance leads to their arrest. Loosely based on the notorious 1924 murder trial of thrilI-kiIlers Leopold and Loeb, this outstanding film aIso features cinema Iegend Orson Welles as the criminaI defence lawyer who takes on their case.
