description Anatomy of a Murder Overview
Otto Premingers 1959 film is perhaps the most legally accurate courtroom drama ever produced. James Stewart stars as a small-town lawyer defending a soldier who claims temporary insanity after killing the man who raped his wife. The film is celebrated for its frank discussion of sexual assault and its meticulous depiction of trial procedure, from jury selection to the final verdict. With a legendary jazz score by Duke Ellington, it remains a sophisticated, gritty, and intellectually stimulating look at the complexities of the law.
