continuing a season of the great actor's films in celebration of his 80th birthday. Also starring Lee Remick Ben Gazzara
In this extraordinary, powerful courtroom drama - being shown in the complete version - James Stewart gives possibly his finest performance as the country lawyer hired to defend a murderer. When an army lieutenant is held for the killing of a bartender, his defence is 'justifiable homicide', on the grounds that the man had viciously assaulted and raped his wife.
