Reviews
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The taped performance of Henry Fonda's one-man show was aired as "IBM Presents Clarence Darrow" on September 4, 1974, on NBC.Clarence Darrow is/was a larger-than-life figure. Although I know relatively little about him personally, the cases he was involved with still have a lasting impact today. The Scopes case, the Leopold and Loeb case, some union trials... and this one-man show is as relevant in 2017 as it was in 1974, amazingly enough.Fonda is fantastic and really brings Darrow to life. What made him so great (and Fonda expresses this well) is how he made himself a part of the trials. An attorney is more often than not a tool of the client. But with Darrow, you didn't just get a legal argument... you got a whole philosophy of life. Whether he questioned religion or raised Nietzschean ideas, he argued from the soul rather than the law book.
