Compulsion (1959)



Two sociopathic students Artie Straus and Judd Steiner murder a boy in a philosophical exercise to commit the flawless crime.

Solid study of an unusual crimonal case with an excellent cast, but when Orson Welles arrives late in the story he somewhat steals the show.

Halliwell*: "Rather dogged but earnest fictionalization of the Leopold-Loeb case with solid performances and production."

Maltin***1/2: "Hard-hitting version...Good characterizations, period decor, and well-edited courtroom scenes."
