One thought on “Decades Blogathon — 12 Angry Men (1957)”
Brilliant film. Confined to a single room – beginning AFTER the trial has finished – and through the deliberations of the 12 finely delineated jurors – we are able to learn every detail – and slowly come to the final verdict. One of Fonda’s best (and that’s saying something) with a superb supporting cast. One of Sidney Lumet’s first features (after an esteemed career – 1st as an actor in Yiddish theater – and then – as a top director in live television – as Jack Warden might’ve said – he hit this outta the park.
