Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de Cómicas y de cine clásico. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: "Cómicas" en el Teatro de la Zarzuela Mujeres de teatro en la España del siglo XVIII. Nos vamos al Teatro de la Zarzuela donde, sólo este fin de semana, está en cartel una propuesta muy especial: "Cómicas". Ayer 8, hoy, sábado y domingo, 9, 10 y 11 de mayo. Se trata de una nueva producción propia del templo del género chico por excelencia (ubicado en la c/ Jovellanos, 4). Esta propuesta teatral y musical, a modo de tonadilla escénica, recupera el legado de mujeres españolas que tuvieron un papel ciertamente destacado y reconocido durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII en los escenarios de nuestro país. La obra está protagonizada por las voces de las solistas Jone Martínez, María Hinojosa y Pilar Alva y por la narración de la actriz Cristina Medina, acompañadas por el conjunto Forma Antiqva, aclamada agrupación de música antigua que engloba oboes, trompas, violines, violonchelos, contrabajo, guitarra barroca, tiorba y clave. Entrevistamos al clavecista Aarón Zapico, que es quien tuvo la idea original de esta propuesta y quien se ocupa de la dirección musical. La dirección escénica corre a cargo de Pepa Gamboa y la dramaturgia es de Antonio Álamo. "Cómicas" - Mujeres de teatro en la España del siglo XVIII- Teatro de la Zarzuela (c/ Jovellanos, 4) - Nueva producción del Teatro de la Zarzuela. 8, 9 y 10 de mayo a las 19:30 y el 11 de mayo a las 18:00 Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre La soga. Thriller psicológico criminalístico de 1948 dirigido por Alfred Hitchcock basado en la obra teatral homónima de 1929 de Patrick Hamilton. La historia fue adaptada para la película por Hume Cronyn y el guion fue escrito por Arthur Laurents. Está protagonizada por James Stewart, John Dall y Farley Granger. La trama se centra en los estudiantes Brandon (Dall) y Philip (Granger), quienes, alentados por las ideas de su profesor de filosofía (Stewart), asesinan a un antiguo compañero y celebran una fiesta con el cadáver aún oculto en su apartamento. Todo con el único propósito de probar que son intelectualmente superiores y capaces de cometer el "crimen perfecto". Tanto la película como la obra de teatro original guardan importantes similitudes con el mediático caso real del asesinato de Bobby Franks a manos de los estudiantes Nathan Leopold y Richard Loeb, cometido en Chicago en 1924.

Is there such a thing as a "perfect crime"? 100 years ago, two teenagers wanted to find out for themselves. 19-year-old Nathan Leopold and 18-year-old Richard Loeb abducted and murdered 14-year-old Bobby Franks within his affluent Chicago neighborhood. The crime of the century became the trial of the century, and the country watched a jury decide the fate of the two murderous teenagers. Author, historian, and Professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Simon Baatz looks back at the historic murders, and the unprecedented trial that followed, as detailed in his book, For The Thrill Of It.

Chicagoans gathered around their radio sets on 10th September, 1924 - to hear Judge John R. Caverly sentence wealthy teenagers and lovers Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb to life in prison for the brutal murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks. The couple showed no remorse, exhibited a complete lack of empathy, and said they had committed their crime "because we damn well wanted to", but were nonetheless spared the death penalty following the passionate defense submitted by their attorney, the celebrated campaigner Clarence Darrow. In this edition, The Retrospectors explore how classism intersected with blood-lust when it came to the public perception of the pair's propsective punishment; explore how Nietzsche's concept of the Superman influenced their acts; and explain why their ill-conceived plan to extort ransom money failed so spectacularly… Content Warning: Descriptions of Violence/Murder.

Can two brilliant minds outsmart the law? In 1924 Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, two wealthy University of Chicago students, sought to commit the perfect crime simply for the thrill of it. They meticulously planned the kidnapping and murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks, a distant relative of Loeb. Despite their careful plotting, a pair of eyeglasses left at the crime scene linked them to the murder. Their trial captivated the nation, especially with the famous defense attorney Clarence Darrow arguing against the death penalty. The chilling lack of remorse and intellectual arrogance displayed by Leopold and Loeb turned this case into one of the most notorious in American history! Two of my passions are True Crime and the stage. In this segment of Murder Most Foul, I have been able to combine them into one podcast. Lizzie Borden can boast numerous plays, an Opera and a Ballet choreographed by the legendary Agnes DeMille inspired by her crimes. My guest today, Stephen Dolginoff, turned the story of thrill-killers Leopold and Loeb into theatrical musical, entitled appropriately “Thrill Me,” which is still thrilling audiences today. He also recently wrote a fascinating book on the 30-year odyssey of taking his vision from first draft to the stage and beyond. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The musical interludes throughout the podcast are from the Original Cast Recording starring Stephen Dolginoff as Leopold and Doug Kreeger as Loeb.
The past hundred years have seen more than one high-profile prosecution branded as the “crime of the century.” The shocking 1924 crime that was among the first to carry the title turned out to be a harbinger of how public mania around criminal cases could influence the legal system, and how psychiatry would be used and abused by prosecutors and defense attorneys alike as the 20th century wore on and gave way to the 21st.Smithsonian editor Meilan Solly introduces us to teens Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb and their botched, but still deadly, effort to perpetrate “the perfect crime.” What happened next was also surprising: After confessing to the abduction and murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks, they were spared capital punishment thanks to their famed attorney Clarence Darrow. True-crime historian Kate Winkler Dawson then tells us how public interest in Leopold and Loeb's fate helped solidify true crime as a durable subject of fascination. She also tells us about the tools used by the prosecution that were in their infancy during the famed case.Read Meilan Solly's Smithsonian story about Leopold and Loeb here.Learn more about Kate Winkler Dawson, her books, her podcasts, and her work at her site.Find prior episodes of our show here.There's More to That is a production of Smithsonian magazine and PRX Productions.From the magazine, our team is Chris Klimek, Debra Rosenberg and Brian Wolly.From PRX, our team is Jessica Miller, Adriana Rosas Rivera, Genevieve Sponsler, Rye Dorsey, and Edwin Ochoa.

In 1924, the kidnapping and murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks horrified the country, especially when the killers were revealed to be two wealthy teenagers, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb.

Two privileged young men cold-bloodedly kill someone close to them, just to prove they can get away with the perfect murder. This is the premise behind Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 suspenseful film “Rope.” Sadly, it was also the motivation behind the tragic 1924 murder of Bobby Franks by Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, two college students, in a case so sensational it was referred to as “the crime of the century.” With Clarence Darrow defending the accused murderers, it was also deemed “the trial of the century.” In this fascinating episode we delve into the true crime behind Hitchcock's classic movie “Rope.” Not only do we share interesting behind-the-scenes stories about the film and Hitchcock's groundbreaking use of “long-takes,” we also walk through the infamous Leopold and Loeb case, analyzing how it inspired elements of the film. Whether you're a fan of the “Master of Suspense” or of true crime, this episode is for you!

On the afternoon of March 21st, 1924 a horrific crime shook the city of Chicago (and the entire country).

What is the the Perfect Murder? It's what two affluent and academically brilliant young Chicagoans, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, wanted to pull off in 1924 when the murdered fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks. WHY did they want to kill anyone? In part, to prove to themselves that were Übermensches after misunderstanding the philosophical nihilism of Nietzsche. They had come to think that they were truly advanced humans. People above the law. And that normal morality didn't apply to him. They couldn't be held liable by the laws of lesser men around them. Except they could! And they would be. They would be caught quickly because while they were extremely academically talented, criminally, they were morons. And then these two morons would have everyone in Chicago and around the nation talking about what they'd done in another so-called "trial of the century."

In this episode I revisit the Murder and a Movie format with an examination of Alfred Hitchcock's underrated 1948 film Rope, and the so-called "crime of the century" which inspired it. The murder in question was that of 14-year-old Bobby Franks in 1924, by two affluent young men with genius-level IQs and an entirely dispassionate motive: the two young men simply wanted to prove that they were above traditional morality, and therefore, above everyone else. The murder of a child by a pair of wealthy, well-to-do white students, who claimed philosophical motives shocked the nation. The horror of the crime juxtaposed with the image of the criminals being anything but stereotypical made it all the more macabre and fascinating, inspiring works of film, theatre, and fiction, including the 1929 play Rope by Patrick Hamilton, which was performed on BBC television in 1939, and a film by the same name which was produced by none other than the master of the macabre himself, Alfred Hitchcock, in 1948. Why examine the history of this particular case and this particular movie? Because to many, this case is responsible for the trope of the “perfect crime,” one committed by self-professed geniuses just to prove that they could; a murder that was utterly dispassionate, cold, and calculated, and therefore Creeptastic!

Nearly a hundred years ago, two wealthy and privileged teenagers―Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb―were charged and convicted in a gruesome crime that would lead to the original “Trial of the Century”. Even in Jazz Age Chicago, the murder was uniquely shocking for the motive of the killers: well-to-do Jewish scions, full of promise, had killed fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks for the thrill of it. The trial was made even more sensational by the revelation of a love affair between the defendants and by defense attorney Clarence Darrow, who delivered one of the most famous defense summations of all time to save the boys from the death penalty. The story of their mad folie à deux, with Loeb portrayed as the psychopathic mastermind and Leopold as his infatuated disciple, has been endlessly repeated and accepted by history as fact. And none of it is true.Using twenty-first century investigative tools, forensics, and a modern understanding of the psychology of these infamous killers, Nothing but the Night turns history on its head. While Loeb has long been viewed as the architect behind the murders, King and Wilson's new research points to Leopold as the dominant partner in the deadly relationship, uncovering a dark obsession with violence and sex. Nothing but the Night pulls readers into the troubled world of Leopold and Loeb, revealing a more horrifying tale of passion, obsession, and betrayal than history ever imagined. NOTHING BUT THE NIGHT: Leopold & Loeb and the Truth Behind the Murder That Rocked 1920's America-Greg King and Penny Wilson.
In 1924, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, two college students born to wealthy Chicago families, brutally murdered Bobby Franks, a 14-year-old boy. Nearly 100 years later, their famous case, known as one of the first 'thrill killings' of the modern era, captivates our societal imagination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkirGLsstSk&ab_channel=LeighBienen (Clarence Darrow Interview (Source unknown)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrjbL4eedkQ&ab_channel=jmd26 (Orson Welles as Clarence Darrow in Compulsion) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4bf_D0CQms&ab_channel=CIN%C3%89MOI (Compulsion Film (1959)) https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2018/07/26/reopening-the-case-files-of-leopold-and-loeb/ (The Paris Review - Reopening the Case Files of Leopold and Loeb) https://images.chicagohistory.org/asset/7270/ (Chicago History Museum Images - Eyeglasses owned by Nathan Leopold) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efkRX4VXgBI&ab_channel=USNationalArchives (Nina Barrett: The Leopold and Loeb Files: An Intimate Look at One of America's Most Infamous Crimes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWsuOh-S1II&ab_channel=ChristopherLeidenfrost (Thrill Me: NJ Production Clip) https://news.wttw.com/2018/11/26/mystery-nathan-leopold-s-bird-collection (WTTW: Nathan Leopold's Bird Collection) https://homicide.northwestern.edu/crimes/leopold/ (Northwestern University Archives | 1924: Leopold and Loeb | Homicide in Chicago 1870-1930) Follow us on IG: @themorbidmuseum Email us at themorbidmuseum@gmail.com Artwork: Brittany Schall Music: "Danse Macabre" by Camille Saint-Saens, performed by Kevin MacLeod 2022 All Rights Reserved
