WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION

classic movie buff

I have always been very partial to films with a surprise ending and "Witness for the Prosecution" has a real stunner. I also enjoy courtroom dramas and this is one of the best. Add to this great performances by a exemplary cast and one of my favourite directors Billy Wilder (who also co-wrote the screenplay) and you can't lose! Charles Laughton's performance alone makes the film well worth seeing.... read more

"April 21 "But this is England, where I thought you never arrest, let alone convict, people for crimes they have not committed." "We try not to make a habit of it." Another great movie directed by Billy Wilder. Like I said before, I am not a big fan of courtroom movies, but this is one of those times where the courtroom scenes can actually interest me. The performances were great, it had some good humor and the direction was great. Also has one of the best twist endings ever."
