Editor's Note

The shocking story of Leopold and Loeb, two homosexuals who were charged in the 1924 kidnapping and murder of a young boy. Two other films were based on the famous incident, Hitchcock's "Rope" and "Compulsion" starring Orson Welles.


Plot Summary

Two gay lovers, estranged from society, concoct a bizarre plot: the deliberate murder of an innocent. Ultimately the young men are arrested and tried for the killing.| Based on the infamous Leopold and Loeb murder trial, "Swoon" presents these lovers as victims -- like the small boy they slaughter, the two appear as sacrificial lambs.| This interesting study on the hate that hate breeds goes beyond the shocking crime and into the self-loathing in the killers' minds.
