Compulsion (Fleischer, 1959): Cinema Museum, 6pm
This 35mm screening is from the Vito Project LGBTQ+ Film Club.
Fictionalized version of the Leopold-Loeb case, with Orson Welles arriving late as the Clarence Darrow figure, his summing up for the defense of thrill-killers Dean Stockwell and Bradford Dillman an electrifying tour-de-force. The collective Cannes Best Actor Award to Stockwell, Dillman, and Welles.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
