Amazing movie.

Sidney Lumet. A very underrated director (also directed Serpico, Network and Dog Day Afternoon). Beautiful camerawork considering it was a one room drama.
It's so ####ing good. I love it when people discover great older films. Now go and watch Inherit The Wind, directed by Stanley Kramer and starring Spencer Tracy. A slightly fictionalized version of the famous Scopes Monkey Trial in the 1920's.
