Directed by the late, great Sidney Lumet (12 Angry Men, Serpico, Network) and in honor of his 100th Birthday (!), this courtroom drama stars the legendary Paul Newman as a semi-alcoholic Boston attorney taking on what might be his most challenging case yet! The family of a pregnant woman - recently sent into a permanent coma in the care of a Catholic-run hospital possibly resulting from the negligence of staff on site caring for her - is now suing said hospital for damages and what results is the textbook definition of a David Vs. Goliath case with Frank on one side and the local Catholic Arch-diocese on the other. Gratefully in Frank's corner is a top legal whiz played by Jack Warden....though leading the defendants is an extremely savvy lawyer played by the late, great James Mason. :o There are legends aplenty in front of and behind the camera of this highly acclaimed legal thriller which was nominated for five Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor! The stacked cast also includes Charlotte Rampling, Lindsey Crouse, Milo O'Shea, and Joe Seneca.
