Synopsis
In this first exploration of what has become an increasingly popular genre in recent years, the author critiques the eight American-made motion pictures that he believes represent the best of courtroom-oriented cinema. Titles include "Witness for the Prosecution" (1958), "Twelve Angry Men" (1957), "I Want to Live!" (1958), "Anatomy of a Murder" (1959), "Compulsion" (1959), "Inherit the Wind" (1960), "Judgment at Nuremberg" (1961), and "The Verdict" (1982).
