Movie Summary: Two men attempt to prove they committed the perfect crime by hosting a dinner party after strangling their former classmate to death.
Queer Film LA Says: Is this the original "be gay do crimes" movie? Though heavily censored, this one-take Hitchcock thriller (from out screenwriter Arthur Laurents) is based off the real-life Leopold and Loeb case, where two gay students killed a boy just to see if they could get away with it.
