Whether it's a question of guilt or innocence, an unlikely defense or prosecution, or railing against injustice, courtroom dramas have endured as entertainment in every storytelling medium. In film, the courtroom drama has produced not only memorable performances and scenes, but also some of the greatest speeches ever put to screen.
On this night, we will be watching Sidney Lumet's 1982 film "The Verdict" starring Paul Newman, Charlotte Rampling, and Jack Warden. It is rated R.
A down-on-his-luck lawyer reduced to drinking and ambulance chasing rediscovers his passion for the job through a case against a law firm dean.
