A bold tense movie for its time that went on to set the precedent for the courtroom drama genre. A certified masterpiece
Perhaps the greatest courtroom drama ever made. The courtroom scenes are so satisfying; the dialogue is perfection
A fantastic legal drama, one of the best in the genre. One of the most complete depictions of the US trial process on film
Great courtroom suspense. Compassion for alleged of sexual assault.
A pretty good if not run of the mill court drama. The treatment of the victim is dreadful.
İn first 50 minutes, you can bored . But it worths.
Great courtroom drama with a solid Jimmy Stewart performance. Came at the right time when the pushed the envelope.
A probing, powerful examination of morality and how gossip and hate sometimes poison human relationships. An anatomy of the heart and mind.
Nice character drama, courtroom procedure piece with good twists and turns.
