Screen play by Arthur Lauronts; adaptad by Hume Crony n from the play ?trCope*s End" by Pa trio": Hamilton* Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Yforner Bros, Alfred Hitchcock, master of suspense, still holds that title though he has never embellished so morbid a theme with brilliant crartsmanship nor drawn upon such technical resource to glaze It, as in this story of deliberate murder for the love of it. Two young classmates' choose to assert their self-styled super iority to si friend by parroting him with a piece of rope, lifting his body into a chest in their penthouse apartment and giving a champagne party in the same room for further exhilaration. The victim1 s father and friends are invited, their concern for the murdered man's non-appearance naado light of, though enjoyed by the hosts till one of the guests, more aware of their dangerous philosophy than the others, tricks them into admitting the crime. The director's manner of projecting this shocking exercise in abnormality Is arresting. The scene is confined to three rooms, action if conversation may to called that is continuous with no time laose, nor is there interruption by the probing camera , Yet the proceedings move swiftly, relentlessly while one listens in painfull apprehension, fearful not so much for the fate of the guilty as cf missing a word, a gesture of a grisly experience.
