Forget farces like A Few Good Men and 12Angry Men and lump this movie with My Cousin Vinny. It's a sneakily enjoyable courtroom drama that feels more realistic than most. Tom Conway is very good as the crack criminal lawyer defending his wife's possible lover for two reasons: sadism and he KNOWS the truth. He's not the killer but he was there. And before he succeeds in winning his client's freedom, he can't resist making the guy squirm for a few days. I enjoyed this twist on Presumed Innocent. The courtroom scenes have a more realistic tone than most legal thrillers and it's fun watching Tom Conway make his client squirm with "No questions" over and over with prosecution witnesses. The happy ending has a genuine tone, also.
Watch this one. It's different and you might really enjoy it. I won't guarantee you will but this one is genuinely offbeat.
