Program Description
Event Details
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 Billy Wilder's 1957 film "Witness for the Prosecution" starring Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, and Charles Laughton.
An ailing barrister agrees to defend a man in a sensational murder trial where the unconvincing testimony of the defendant’s wife becomes a subject of confusion.
