Check out "the Verdict" 1980, with Paul Newman. Fantastic!

If you want a good laugh, check out old movie bloopers, the accent goes away immediately once they mess up a line lol. Also most of these guys were stage actors, so Maple was spot-on about the actors' blocking, you can see a lot of that with old movies. Also why they projected so much, they were used to acting in a theater with no sound equipment.

2024-04-28 20:13:32 +0000 UTCWOW! I didn't know this classic was even on the schedule! so glad A&M are reacting to it. the film was way ahead of its time in 1957, as it addressed overcoming our own biases and prejudices. My favorite part is where Fonda helps Lee J Cobb with his coat just to comfort him--he felt pity for a man who had no relationship with his own son. I am a lawyer by trade and have tried over 100 cases. Arianna is right--the system is indeed flawed. Jurors do compromise, they do act on prejudice, and they often don't care at all about the case. As for quality of defense, often the public defenders are not very good. I went to work at a big private firm because I knew I'd get paid far less working for the govt, so its a system that works much better for the wealthy than the poor. At my firm I did several pro bono criminal cases, including defending a few serious felonies--but sadly, it true--not everybody gets a quality defense.
