Anatomy of a Murder

"If we ever turn these into a book," Mike remarks in this episode, "it'll be called Trial by Viewer." That's one of the subjects the guys discuss when they look at Otto Preminger's Anatomy of a Murder (1959), one of the greatest courtroom-dramas of all time because it breaks some fundamental rules about the genre--and, in doing so, puts the viewer in the same uncomfortable place as the jury. So suspend judgment for now, pause that Duke Ellington CD, and settle in for a conversation about Jimmy Stewart and George C. Scott as two lawyers trying the case of the unlikable Ben Gazzara.   Please subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on YouTube, Twitter and Letterboxd.
