This was…fine? For me there’s only so much you can do with courtroom movies, but this does do as well as you can expect. Really appreciated Jimmy Stewart’s performance and the way he displayed this subtle undercurrent of seediness–especially with Lee Remick’s enigma of a victim. Little shades here and there of his Vertigo persona, and I dug it. This movie felt ahead of its time in terms of subject matter–I was certainly surprised to hear such frank discussions of rape and for “panties” to play such a major role. Strange jazz score that didn’t age well, but also that’s perhaps because I hate jazz.
