Do made for TV movies just not find their audience somehow?
My question is this, Poitier spoke very slowly in court and at a more "normal" pace out of court. Was this something that Marshall did?

hmm i don't know, maybe he just spoke slower to put emphasis on what he was saying. I wonder where everyone is at too lol.

Yes Marshall Had a very slow courtroom speech manner, this he learned from civil rights pioneer Charles Huston, the dead of Howard Law School.
I have always enjoyed this film, particularly the charecterisation of Davis, He was not a white supremist, he got 30 PERCENT OF The northern black vote when he ran for president in 1924.
This movie is an inspiration! It's one of my favorites.
Thurgood Marshall was an inspiration. He did as much as Martin Luther King, Jr. did for Civil Rights...He just did it through the court system. He was very smart man.
It seems lately he has been overlooked.
Amen.
Some movies are released; others sneak out.
