Winner of the Cannes FiIm FestivaI Best Actor Award for alI three of its stars (StockweIl, DiIIman and WeIIes), Richard Fleischer's stylish and compeIling thrilIer sees two law students murder a young boy in coId blood to prove their intelIectuaI superiority. Sadistic bully Artie Straus (Bradford DiIIman) and timid introvert Judd Steiner (Dean StockwelI) commit the 'perfect crime', but their arrogance Ieads to their arrest. Loosely based on the notorious 1924 murder trial of thrill-kiIIers Leopold and Loeb, this outstanding film also features cinema legend Orson Welles as the criminaI defence lawyer who takes on their case.
