Witness for the Prosecution...


Other than the character of the nagging, annoying nurse, this film is timeless. Originally a famous short story by Agatha Christie, it was then a play and then adapted for film. The screenplay is well done and the dialogue moves along at a quick clip. Charles Laughton was nominated for an Academy Award for best actor for his part in this film and it shows. It's a good one.

I agree. Marlena Dietrich is superb.
