For me the problem is probably Stanley Kramer—he's just so heavy-handed. I feel like he clubs the audience in the heads like baby seals to get his *message* across, and when the messages are this obvious I'm inclined to agree with Sam Goldwyn (or whoever said it): You got a message, call Western Union. I would like to see the Scopes trial treated in a different film, with a new script. At this year's TCMFF I got to see The Passion of Joan of Arc for the first time, and I hadn't known that the whole script actually came from the transcripts of Joan's trials. Now *that* would make an interesting movie, wouldn't it? Thank you so much for being part of our blogathon! <br /><br />Lesley / Second Sight Cinema misospecialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746740239194445506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073025888325415158.post-22718275185248832102016-06-13T15:32:02.139-04:002016-06-13T15:32:02.139-04:00This is a marvelous movie.

I love it.

It's based on a true story. It has two powerhouse actors with Tracy & March. There's built-in drama and theatrics. What's NOT to like? Thanks for joining our blogathon today with this fantastic film.CineMavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033780067701562043noreply@blogger.com
