Hamilton's breakthrough: two young men strangle a friend to demonstrate their intellectual superiority, stow him in a chest, then serve dinner off it to a party including the victim's father, all in real time, all in one room, a construction of horrible elegance. Universally linked to the LeopoldLoeb murder of 1924, and prefaced here by Hamilton's own essay on thrillers, the author defending the form while writing one of its cleverest examples. Its screen afterlife is formidable: a pioneering long-take BBC television broadcast in 1939, which Hitchcock cited as inspiration for his 1948 film: James Stewart, ten-minute takes disguised as one continuous shot, and homosexual subtext the censors pretended not to notice. Hamilton did it again with Gaslight, incidentally donating a verb to the language, which is more than most playwrights manage.
