Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Psychological Thriller, Film a Clef - Rated PG - 85 Minutes - 1948
Alfred Hitchcock's first color film was adapted from a stage play by no less than Hume Cronyn. Loosely inspired by the Leopold-Loeb case, the plot concerns two implicitly homosexual college chums, heads filled with Nietzschean philosophy by their kindly professor. The pair kill a third friend just for the thrill of it, and hide the body in a chest in the middle of their apartment, then perversely arrange to hold a dinner party around the chest, inviting the victim's family, friends and fiancee, as well as the professor.
