				Why watch this? 
				This is a worthy and intense courtroom drama. 
				Plot Summary: A 
				small-town lawyer is assigned to defend a U.S. Army lieutenant 
				accused of murdering a man who allegedly raped his wife. The 
				film follows the defense attorney's challenging journey as he 
				navigates the complex legal proceedings and courtroom drama. Dad's Preview: 
				There is a non-sensationalist quality to this film that feels 
				like you are watching a news report, not a movie. It was released 
				in black and white, which also 
				helps it land as more realistic for its time. This film technique was often used by 
				director Preminger (In Harm's Way 
				(1965)). George C. Scott and James Stewart are 
				excellent as opposing litigators, but the surprise performance comes from the 
				beautiful, and morally ambiguous, Lee Remick.
