      Audience Member Richard Chamberlain was at his peak of when he was cast as an attorney ho seeks to get a client off of a murder charge. The plot pushed the envelope of what was acceptable in movies. Nick Adams as the would be killer as quite good in his Oscar nominated Supporting Actor role. Too bad the part is undercooked. Unfortunately, the film feels like a rip off of the much better "Anatomy of a Murder" with James Stewart. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review steve d The performances help but not enough. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member good drama and claude rains last picture Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Less than galvanizing courtroom drama spiced by some good supporting performances. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Rain's last movie-but he still has it good court room drama Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
