- Anatomy of a Murder
Otto Preminger's early knack for noir resurfaces in his controversial, entertaining courtroom drama, Anatomy of a Murder. In a stirring story adapted from a best-selling novel, the ever-impressive Jimmy Stewart plays a down-and-out lawyer defending a man for murdering his wife's alleged rapist. The plot's natural drama is emphasized by Duke Ellington's original score — spanning blues, swing, classical, and folk — while the persistent tension and candid dialogue are a refreshing reminder of the pre-Grisham days of the thrilling legal showdown.
