Mr. Paul Newman's Oscar winning performance is one
of the best of any actor of all time in the very great drama.
Playing a down
and out lawyer on the comeback trail Newman gives us some tense moments when
he chooses to gamble
on a hunch that truth will win out over evil at the end
of the day. In seeking true justice rather than expediency Newman
gives us a
bit of a scare in that he may be playing somewhat naive given the stakes and
the forces opposing him. A brilliant
performance with his summary to the jury
in the case making a historical performance of the very great talent and
humanistic
spirit of integrity and genuine goodness in real ideals
unforgettable! Everyone should see this truly great achievement here,
from Mr.
Paul Newman, who by the way, unfortunately passed away not too long ago. A sad loss for
our world.
