Compulsion: Review

Based on the famous 1924 murder trial of Loeb and Leopold, two Chicago law students who murdered young Bobby Franks to demonstrate their intellectual superiority, this is a compelling and stylish thriller. Bradford Dillman delivers a strong performance as the mother-dominated "Straus," and Dean Stockwell is even more impressive as the submissive, introverted "Steiner." Of course, Orson Welles is flamboyantly grand as the Clarence Darrow-figure who has the unenviable task of defending the two arrogant unsympathetic killers. Read the complete review for Compulsion
