Thrill Me
Synopsis
In 1924, in the tony Hyde Park section of Chicago, two wealthy Jewish college students, Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, said to have IQ scores in excess of 200, were infatuated with Nietzche's concept of the "Supermen," the idea that highly gifted people are "above" the laws designed for ordinary humans. To prove their loyalty to the concept, these two honor students who were about to enter law school at the University of Chicago, conspired to commit the "perfect crime," kidnapping and killing Bobby Franks, the young child of another wealthy Jewish family in their neighborhood.
The crime was far from perfect and a series of blunders, including leaving a pair of spectacles near the culvert where they hid the victim's body and typing a ransom note on an easily traceable typewriter, led to their arrest.
