Comments
A brilliant performance by a young Dean Stockwell (though not his first, as he was a famous child actor), this true crime film sticks fairly closely to the real story of Leopold and Loeb, though they changed the names. As a fan of true crime from an early age, I grew up on these stories, and love it when filmmakers stick to the facts :D
