I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Thanks for the memories!

Best movie of this year hands down!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Watching this nearly 50 years after it was made, it is perhaps not surprising that the film is filled with stale ideas that have been used a million times since. The out-spoken, outlandish defence lawyer with a seemingly water- tight case against his clients. The culprits that you are made to love and hate at the same time - even down to the hot, stuffy court room. You have seen it all before and done better. As others has mentioned, Dean Stockwell turns in the best performance in the film (although that's not saying much) Welles plays the role that made him famous, but here he does so without much effort or, it seems, interest; just going through his tried and tested routine. All other characters inspire no real interest or sympathy from the audience. All in all, it misses the key drama points that would have made for a much sharper, compelling and gritty film even in the late 50s when it was made.

(Flash Review)Based on a true story from 1924, two young and cocky men thought they were so smart that they were above the law. And that they could commit whatever crime they felt and make a game of outsmarting the police and detectives. They felt it would be a unique intellectual experience to act out a crime. They do, now will they get away with it? Will their intellectual minds get the high and rush they are looking for? How will they outsmart everyone? Interesting story with good dialog and character development. Orson Welles plays a great character as well as directs this picture. This is a lesser known and solid Welles film.

Deserved the acting awards for the three male actors that the Cannes festival bestowed. Orson Welles is amazing while delivering his lines--almost whispering and yet being heard. His performance makes Marlon Brando's famous roles look artificial and contrived. I liked the visual play of the director with the spectacles several times in the film, each time in a different manner. Director Fleischer who impressed me with his film "Barabbas" continues to impress me here. Probably, in this film it was the final line of theism versus atheism. Finally. this is an important example of a film that argues against the death penalty.

I had no prior knowledge of the Leopold-Loeb murder case when I watched the picture, so as in many cases involving my movie viewing pastime, I managed to learn something new today. I thought this was quite the compelling story, involving a pair of young delinquents who plan to commit the perfect crime. Judd Steiner (Dean Stockwell) is particularly cerebral in his approach, desiring to perform a totally non-emotional, well executed crime, something brilliant that would confound the authorities in it's execution. His partner Artie Strauss (Bradford Dillman) isn't as clinical in his approach, and takes particular delight in 'commanding' Judd to do his bidding. Artie was more of a monster of the two, taking special delight in explaining to Judd what a 'Judas' goat was, as he watches one lead a herd of sheep to slaughter. Artie was a creepy guy.It becomes clear fairly early in the story that their murder/kidnapping plot falls apart as soon as Judd discovers he must have dropped his pair of glasses at the location where their victim was disposed of. In true best friend fashion, Artie signals he'd throw Judd over in a minute when he dismisses his culpability by stating "So what, they're not my glasses". District Attorney Horn (E.G. Marshall) nails down the evidence against them in preparation for trial, going for the death penalty all the way.What raises the level of the film in my estimation is the defense outlined by the young men's attorney, Jonathan Wilke. Orson Welles' impassioned summation speech disavowing the death penalty is one of the best orations I've ever heard in a movie, and is worth viewing all by itself. It results in no small comfort for the youthful criminals however, they both wind up with concurrent life sentences for kidnapping and murder.As the movie progressed, it became more and more apparent to me that the theme of 'the perfect crime' held some resonance to a Hitchcock film that came out a decade earlier titled "Rope". That picture too it turns out, had some basis in the Leopold-Loeb case, and whether it was an intentional homage or not, there was a line in this picture that caught my attention when uttered by newspaper man Sid Brooks (Martin Milner), commenting to his fiancée Ruth (Diane Varsi) after he learns that Judd had assaulted her - "I hope he hangs till the rope rots".
