There stands a great woman, and this is no less the case in this "Studio One in Hollywood" production of "The Trial of John Peter Zenger". There are two (2) actors in this TV film that stand out more than any other performers and make this episode worth 59 minutes of your time: Frederick Worlock as Mr. Andrew Hamilton,the attorney for Zenger, and Marian Seldes as Mrs. Anna Zeger. Seldes's performance gave me goosebumps. Both professionally-trained actors, the proof is in their focus, concentration, and passion - you truly feel that they believe every word they've uttered.
Narrowing it down to this one thing, I'd say Seldes's performance makes this episode stand out from so many of the others. I found myself looking forward to each scene in which she appeared.
