June 23 Leopold and Loeb: Murder By Numbers (2002)
Our coverage of Leopold and Loeb wraps up on the main feed with Barbet Schroeder's Murder By Numbers (2002), which consists of two different films smashed together into one.
On one side, we have a police procedural involving Sandy B's detective and her traumatic past. On the other side, we have a pair of queer-coded teen boys (Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt) obsessed with executing the perfect murder.
It doesn't take much math to figure out which one is more successful!

June 09 Leopold and Loeb: Compulsion (1959)
The first title in our Leopold and Loeb coverage is Compulsion, written by Richard Murphy and based on Meyer Levin's 1956 novel.
Richard Fleischer's film is notable for casting Orson Welles, who delivers an impassioned speech against the death penalty in the finale.
Plus: a weakened Hays Code; beautiful Dean Stockwell; and the decision to keep the murder offscreen.
