There was a film made about that sad event. It was the Almer Coe connection which broke the case.

Is that "Rope" the 1948 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock ?

No it was "Compulsion"...."Rope" was a take off...

[HadleyH]

Yes, in fact now after researching it a little..... "there are three very different films that have been based on the Leopold-Loeb murder case. The first was Alfred Hitchcock's Rope, (1948), a fictionalized look at the killing. The second, Richard Fleischer's Compulsion, (1959), is a fact-based account that focuses on the trial. The third was Tom Kalin's Swoon, (1992)."


That was one of the saddest cases of the 1920, a senseless killing just for the thrill of it!

That isn't from the Daily Express by any chance? She's still no the cover several times a week in that rag. Usually accompanied by a piece that combines canonising her with some variant on the "Prince Phillip on the grassy knoll with a sniper rifle" theory.

There could be a piece of truth in the headline.
