This is definitely the best older movie I"ve seen(as in pre 60s) . I could watch it over and over again and I'd still love it just as much as the first time.

It's a classic. Great concept, great performance by Fonda.

& it's aged phenomenally. There is a remake/'97 that is not bad as one might think. Very serviceable.

I thought Lee J. Cobb had the best performance here, but, Fonda is strong too.

I can't stand this movie. It's so manipulative, just like Fonda's character.

He is a bit of a ball buster, Strat. I understand where you're coming from on Fonda, but, I didn't want to go 1st. LOL!

Good thing I've got him tied up and locked up in my basement!

I wondered what happened to him. Is he enjoying it down there ???

[–] Stratego (29209) 6 years ago

He's letting out screams of pleasure, Mitch!

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Say hello to him for me. Between screams. Maybe I will pay him a visit someday.

[–] Stratego (29209) 6 years ago

We'll have fun watching St. Elmo's Fire together. I promise you!

Is he wearing a Gimp outfit ??

[–] Stratego (29209) 6 years ago

As he would put it, he's wearing nothing but a smile!😁

Just rewatched it after many years. The only problem I had with it was, that wasn't exactly a jury of his peers. That was easily overlooked considering the cast, the great acting and dialogue.

How weren't they a jury of his peers? A serious question, I don't know much about this aspect of a trial.

Now that I have seen it on the trending bar, I plan on watching it again later.
