For those who complain about the closing speech being too long.... The closing speech (about 15 minutes?) is excerpts from Clarence Darrow's actual closing remarks at the Leopold & Loeb film. The actual closing statements took 12 hours over two days (so be thankful it wasn't longer!) For that bit of historical inaccuracy I can forgive all the other stuff they weren't allowed to explore indepth in the film. It's also a good anti-capital punishment film. We know the boys are guilty so it's now a question of is it right to kill them as punishment?
