Great performances all around by Milner, Dillman, Stockwell, Marshall and Welles.
To see Marshall and Welles going toe-to-toe in a taut courtroom scene was truly unique and amazing.
I recently got a chance to see Rope. It was more refined and tension-filled than Compulsion, but this was thoroughly entertaining as well.
Glad you enjoyed it! One of the real joys I get from posting these old movie links is finding a good movie that not everyone might have seen or heard of before. :-)
