Warning: Spoilers
Two arrogant college boys think that the capability of getting away with the murder of one of their class mates is a sign of their superior intelligence. There is a distinct leader of the crime as one of them starts to doubt what they've done. They decide to host a dinner party with friends while the victims body is hidden in the room to add to their own personal pleasure. Alfred Hitchcock strengthens the suspense by his unique use of the camera angles and set. The entire movie takes place in a single room, giving the viewers a claustrophobic feel. James Stewart is amazing and gives a subtle yet dubious performance as an old Professor who may have accidentally giving them the idea to carry out the crime. He's obviously appalled when he finds out what they've done. This film will forever be one of the best psychological thrillers in its field.
