The first title in our Leopold and Loeb coverage is Compulsion, written by Richard Murphy and based on Meyer Levin's 1956 novel.

Richard Fleischer's film is notable for casting Orson Welles, who delivers an impassioned speech against the death penalty in the finale.

Plus: a weakened Hays Code; beautiful Dean Stockwell; and the decision to keep the murder offscreen.
