Oh my God, I have a copy of Compulsion! On DVD, even. Wow...Roddy as Artie. That would've really been something--not that Bradford Dillman isn't good, but. I think he was probably just more "manly"-seeming than Roddy, unfortunato.

(The guy who wrote the book that film/play was based on--Meyer Levin--was actually there for their trial, and went to school with them. It's a worthwhile read, though the Freudian stuff is pretty hilarious; he goes a hell of a lot further than I ever thought he would in terms of exploring their sex-life, too.)

I think I'm going to have to make a list of all the bossy little (sometimes Jewish) nutters I've fallen for, over the years, from Nathan Leopold to Herbert West, Re-Animator. And now Mordecai.;) Well, there's worse fates; at least I have a few different types of "types".
