Anatomy of a Murder (1959) - (Movies To See Before You Die - Court Room Drama) |
Rated among the Best Court Room Dramas around the globe, “Anatomy of a Murder” is no doubt a worth watching thriller for all the lovers of this particular genre. But frankly speaking the movie is included in my Must See Movies List purely for its direction, execution and performances. Because as far as the story content and its investigations are concerned, I found them not so exciting, lacking the expected brain teaser kind of twists & turns in the screenplay. But what bowled me over, were its brilliant performances and the intriguing style in which the two lawyers compete with each other on a controversial case of Rape and cold blooded Murder in the court.
In fact the movie unarguably features one of the most authentic depiction of a court room drama, wherein the lawyers are dying to overshadow each other in order to win the case with their own unique tricks of the trade. Even when the script doesn’t have any great shocking moments to offer to its viewers, it’s the characters on the screen and their true to life acts which take the movie to an entirely different level of excellence.

Hi, It's a master peice of Otto Preminger and excelent performence of Jimmy Stewert. If you know very well the court proceding, then only one can relise the best part of the movie. All "Objection" whether it sustained or overrulled is just according to law. Each and evry question asked during the trail is a perfect sample of question of Law which is permisible in court room. It's a perfect court room trail. Any way "To Kill A Mocking Bird" should be in the list of "Court Room Drama"
