12 Angry Men is the best courtroom drama outside of the courtroom. This is probably the best one inside it.
“in order to show just one of marlene dietrich’s famous legs, an entire scene was written that required 145 extras, 38 stunt men, and $90,000.” marlene dietrich’s left leg has more power than any of us mere mortals could ever even dream of having.
That ending was BRUTAL, it was so clever and unexpected, it's a classic example of a film with a visceral and extremely well executed ending. The storytelling techniques and character development are perfect, and will leave you completely hypnotized, I highly recommend it.
An ailing London barrister takes on the defense of a man accused of murdering a wealthy widow in a high-stakes trial.
It was directed by Billy Wilder in 1957, adapted from a stage play.
