(1959) Dean Stockwell, Bradford Dillman, Orson Welles. Dir: Richard Fleischer.
Two wealthy students murder a friend to prove they can get away with it. A film of two halves, one crime thriller, one courtroom drama. Would’ve been better if the courtroom themes were developed through the film. Though the camerawork and performances are superb – and the finale is outstanding.
