The Leopold and Loeb case (1024) was a big deal famously fictionalized in Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 film, Rope. Some claim it as Hitchcock's best. It's claustrophobic and stagy due to the fact that Hitch shot the whole film without editing, one film can at a time in single takes. Because of that alone, it may Hitch's most creative. Jimmy Stewart stars. Fortunately, it's available on YouTube.
