Welcome to the Back Lot 605 Podcast! We are entering week number three of James Stewart month as we are joined by Tadd Good, the co-host of Attack of the Killer Podcast and the host of the First Time Podcast. Fitting that Tadd joins us this week because the movie of the week is a first-time watch for hosts Casey and Brian! The trio discuss the James Stewart lead courtroom drama, Anatomy of a Murder.
Have you seen the film, what are your thoughts?
Anatomy of a Murder is a 1959 courtroom drama directed by Otto Preminger and stars James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, and George C. Scott. Paul Biegler (Stewart) defends a war veteran in a murder trial after the lieutenant murders a man, whom his wife accused of rape. Progressive and groundbreaking at the time of release, Anatomy of a Murder is consider by many practicing lawyers to be one of the most accurate courtroom dramas of all time.
