The Verdict (1982)
from Cinema Spectator · host ECFS Productions
Continuing our series on the films of Sidney Lumet, we turn to The Verdict (1982). Starring Paul Newman as a down-on-his-luck attorney, the film follows a medical malpractice case that offers him one last chance at redemption. Written by David Mamet, The Verdict strips away the glamour of the courtroom drama, focusing instead on conscience, persistence, and the difficulty of doing the right thing when the odds are stacked against you. Join us as we discuss one of Lumet’s most acclaimed films and one of Newman’s finest performances. Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.
