I caught it again last night. One of those films that are damned good but so low-key intense you need to dose yourself. Magnificent acting by Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Cliff, Richard Windmark and the young (then) actors Maximilian Schell and William Shatner.
This in not a pop-corn and Raisinets movie. It is a complex piece presented in a very subdued mode. The rendering of the verdict by Spence Tracy and the his last meeting with Burt Lancaster are worth the price of admission or PPV.
