THIS! I HATE lawyer movies or movies about trials (or shows for that matter). But this movie I can watch every time and I do use parts of it from time to time in trial during voir dire or closing argument.

Definitely a great flick.
And Fred's last film. He passed away less than a year later. But he went out on top of his game, capping a forty year career that was certainly more diverse than just "Herman Munster".

So many great scenes in that flick. But, the stuttering public defender was where I spit out my Cocoa Puffs.

It is true. Most movies and show about courtroom stuff are so unrealistic that they are unwatchable for lawyers. Scripts have the lawyers make bullshit objections, and allow absolutely inadmissible evidence in without a peep, just as an example. This movie mostly gets that stuff right, and is still an entertaining movie.

Even though most days in the courtroom are dry as burnt toast and boring. It is hard to make a lot of testimony in civil trials very interesting.

A number of advocacy teachers I work with use the cross of the old lady as a prime example of perception impeachment.

How could it take you five minutes to cook your grits, when it takes the entire grit-eating world 20 minutes?
