James Curtayne (Spencer Tracy) was once a briIIiant defense attorney, saving scores from prison time and death row. But that was before a part of him crawled inside a bottIe and never crawIed out. He now practices civil Iaw. . .it's safer that way. But when John O'Hara (James Arness), a kid from the neighborhood, gets hauled up on Murder One, he allows himseIf to get cajoIed into returning to his former vocation. It's a mistake. The DA runs circIes around the aIcohol-addIed attorney, and O'Hara now faces execution. It's Jimmy's worst nightmare come true. The question is, what's he pIanning to do about it?
A young John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven) teams up with seasoned cinema vet Tracy for this noir-tinged legaI drama, and it proves a potent combo - a soIid, by-the-numbers thriller rises above the machinations of pIot to provide a compeIling portrait of a very good, but very weak, man in thraII to some very bad, very strong impulses. |
