Amazing performance by Lindsay Crouse.

@ericingham9925 17 дней назад

I believe this was Newman's best work supported by a great cast. As I'm a nurse, Lindsay Crouse's Kaitin is heart wrenching.

@StorytellerConnor 16 дней назад

Absolutely agree, Sidney Lumet is one of the best filmmakers ever and I think the storytelling was executed with true depth and raw emotion.

@jim5746 16 дней назад

Yes, his performance here was better than The Color Of Money.

All great acting performances here -James Mason, Charlotte Rampling, Jack Warden, Lindsay Crouse, Miles O' Shea.

I remember seeing this movie when it first came out. I've always remembered her crying, "I wanted to be a nurse". Such a sad moment.

@user-kv2tj4du8p 11 дней назад

same! all these years later-and I remember her saying that line-it was such a brilliant moment. and she does it expertly.

My wife, who has worked as a nurse and in management for 46 years, has always loved this scene. She can do a good Irish accent so when she quotes the ending line it’s kind of hilarious! That said, she always sympathized with Lindsay Crouse’s character and new where she was coming from.

@StorytellerConnor 16 дней назад

Wow, thanks for your comment! So glad to hear that she resonates with this scene, Crouse is so powerful in this scene!

Amazing script and acting in this film. Audiences love a great villain and James Mason totally delivered!

@shanekilpatrick3378 25 дней назад

Great movie. My favourite scene is when the brother in law of the woman in hospital, gives Newman a spray. Sums up the feeling of all working class people like me. “You guys are all the same. You promised to do your best, then you screw up! Then you say I’m sorry. Yet we’re the ones who have to pay for your mistakes for the rest of our lives.!” Jack Warden had to step in to save Newman from a beating. One of the best cout room movies ever 👏

Yes! I love that scene too, James Handy acted that beautifully. Such a timeless film. Thanks for your comment Shane!

Not sure a lawyer would start a question with “why” about anything after being hit by that bombshell. Great film

I was finished all the schooling and doing my practical with only 2weeks left when a doctor wanted to blame me for his action. The patient wasn’t having it but my head nurse took me aside and said to take the blame because it would affect the doctor badly. I literally said, this is not the profession for me” and walked out the door. That was in 1979

Wow, thank you for sharing. I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’m really glad to hear that you were able to do what you felt in your heart! 💖💖

One of my favorite films of all time along with Prince Of The City. This scene is brilliant.

@StorytellerConnor 13 дней назад

Nice! I love Sidney Lumet’s storytelling style and direction, I need to check out Prince of the City!

@rtg1960 12 дней назад

@@StorytellerConnor Prince of The City is a masterpiece. If you love Lumet run and see it. The 70’s at its best.

@techserviceondemand9409 4 дня назад

Prince of the City certainly is one of the greatest. Like all Lumet films, the whole cast is incredible. If you have not seen it, Anderson's Tape is another great but forgotten one.

@jmcgaw 13 дней назад

In real life, of course, James Mason's character would never ask her why she made a copy without already knowing the answer. Nor would he look all befuddled and confused for the jury like this, nor would he let her finish her answer.

@StorytellerConnor 13 дней назад

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate your insights! Yes, when presenting something in film, the characters and story have to be more heightened and more flawed than in real life, in order to convey the weight and truth of what the director is hoping to show to the audience and society. I personally think letting her finish is a profound part of the scene because so often powerful men silence women, blatantly minimize their perspective and don’t let women speak their truth. Having said that, I think the acting and storytelling in this film is so important. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

@jerryklooster438 8 дней назад

I agree with all you've said. If I said that to my wife, however, she would say: "Just enjoy it. You were probably the kid telling everyone that Gilligan would never get off the island." :)

Powerful film. One of the best 'courtroom dramas' we have. AND JUSTICE FOR ALL... ABSENCE OF MALICE (not exactly a 'courtroom' is used but still; - an awesome entry into The Law and its value). PRESUMED INNOCENT with Harrison Ford and Brian Dennehy... CLASS ACTION (Gene Hackman and Mary Elizabeth Mastriantonio). Even REGARDING HENRY (more Harrison Ford).

@StorytellerConnor 16 дней назад

Yes this is such a powerful film. And I loved Pacino in And Justice For All! I personally think Pacino’s monologue at the end is one of the best acted monologues in film history. Thanks for your comment!
