| | Posted: | | | | I'm finding myself remembering fondly watching old black and white movies based around the courtroom... and not being able to remember anything but the most basic and non-descript of scenes. SO, I figures that I'd ask for opinions of good examples of the genre.
Two that I do recall enjoying are 'The Boys' and 'Twelve Angry Men'. I also recall a film where the lawyer (I think it was Robert Morley playing an ill, retired lawyer) got someone off who turned out to be guilty, but I don't recall the name.
Any suggestions?

Stuart The one with Morley is probably Libel (1959) by Anthony Asquith. Your description seems to match more or less that of the IMDB. |

It also sounds a bit like Witness for the Prosecution with Charles Laughton as the lawyer. I think that this is the winner for the film I couldn't quite remember. The lawyer was indeed Charles Laughton and not Robert Morley. I'll check out the other suggestions as well. Thanks all! Stuart | | | This is a sig... ... ... yay...
