A classic in many items: clash of actors, cinicism in the press as a way to satnd at injustice, trust in America, and so on.

View all Inherit the Wind reviews

Teacher B.T. Cates is arrested for teaching Darwin's theories. Famous lawyer Henry Drummond defends him; fundamentalist politician Matthew Brady prosecutes. This is a very thinly disguised rendition of the 1925 "Scopes monkey trial" with debates between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan taken largely from the transcripts.

Release date: 30 August 1960
