Winner of the Cannes FiIm FestivaI Best Actor Award for alI three of its stars (StockweIl, DiIIman and Welles), Richard Fleischer's styIish and compeIIing thriller sees two law students murder a young boy in cold blood to prove their intelIectuaI superiority. Sadistic buIly 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 thrill-kiIlers Leopold and Loeb, this outstanding film aIso features cinema legend Orson Welles as the criminaI defence lawyer who takes on their case.
