Makes no self-saluting motions to greater importance, which gives the material the much-desired breathing room it needs to reach full potency.

Top Critic Sidney Lumet's feature debut is a brilliant courtroom drama about the American jury system that deservedly was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar. Its superlative cast includes Henry Fonda, Martin Balsam, Ed Begley, Jack Warden, and E.G. Marshall.

This film is a great combination of an adult theme and the treatment suitable for younger audience.
