In this episode we take a look at two films inspired by the notorious ‘Leopold and Loeb’ murder. The first is Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Rope’, followed by Richard Fleischer’s ‘Compulsion’. In the original murder, two wealthy and intelligent students killed a child in their Chicago neighbourhood as part of a ‘perfect crime’ to prove themselves to be what they perceived as Nietzsche’s concept of the superman who exists above society’s morals. Things didn’t go to plan.
