“Compulsion” is the 1959 murder mystery crime courtroom lawyer legal thriller based on the infamous Leopold/Loeb child murder trial. "They were both 18... sons of the city's most respected families. This is the story of their relationship... & of the crime they committed which assaulted the conscience of the world!"; a "perfect murder" by 2 boy geniuses, one psychotic, that failed miserably. In the film, friends Judd Steiner (based on Leopold & played by Dean Stockwell) & Artie Strauss (based on Loeb & played by Bradford Dillman) kill a boy on his way home from school to commit the "perfect crime". There were allegations Leopold & Loeb had a sexual relationship. The movie stars Orson Welles (playing a thinly veiled Clarence Darrow). The condition of this window card is good-very good. It was folded across the middle & the top 4" was folded back It was also folded vertically at one time. Welles, Stockwell & Dillman won Best Actor at 1959 Cannes Film Festival for acclaimed film.
