Shownotes Transcript

Anatomy of a Murder (1959) directed by Otto Preminger.

Semi-retired Michigan lawyer Paul Biegler (James Stewart) takes the case of Army Lt. Manion (Ben Gazzara), who murdered a local innkeeper after his wife (Lee Remick) claimed that he raped her. Over the course of an extensive trial, Biegler parries with District Attorney Lodwick (Brooks West) and out-of-town prosecutor Claude Dancer (George C. Scott) to set his client free, but his case rests on the victim's mysterious business partner (Kathryn Grant), who's hiding a dark secret.

Damn you Otto!! Orla is conflicted. Some films need an 18 minute intro from Ricardo. We have clips this week!

This is The Recommendation Game, a bi-weekly podcast where two film lovers take turns to recommend a film the other has not seen, they watch and then skype to discuss it. Spoilers are a given.

We are Ricardo Deakin and Orla Mc Nelis, two filmy types who love waffling extensively about movies.
