And was possessed by the spirit of Jack the Ripper on Star Trek
It was available on Betamax in New Zealand I’ve heard
Reginald Rose added that bit for the movie of his TV play.
I think they showed scenes of this movie to my class in 3rd grade in 1984. It was used as a model of group dynamics. We were young to see it but it made an impression on me. I saw it again in high school and saw the characters as more fleshed out.
I’m not sure it would make much sense in snippets without seeing all the character arcs, especially Juror No. 3.
Actually now that I remember it I think I saw more like the whole movie in 3rd Grade. I had a neighbor who was my teacher at the school; I think I had asked him questions about what happens in court so he referred the film to me. A city librarian checked it out to me as it seemed I was mature enough to watch it.
That def makes more sense. From an educational point of view.
I’ve heard jury directions, but I’ve never read a complete, or largely complete jury direction. The question in my mind is "when and where did they start directing juries that they couldn’t find their own evidence?
Courts here don’t seem to have pro-forma jury instructions. The jury instructions I’ve heard have been much more add-hoc – and sometimes very poorly done.
The last judge I heard introduced the concepts of “contextual” and “tendency” evidence without being helpful in any way, and stumbled over her poorly thought out and incorrect contention that she was not going to give the jury direction on ‘facts’.
Puerto Rican food is notoriously not spicy, especially among Latin American cuisine but pretty much in general. The typical chili pepper is the cubanelle, which is among the more mild.
I haven’t seen this in a long time, but enjoyed it. I used it in a class, 20-somethings at the time thought it was good.
IMDb says uncredited; I haven’t seen TPS in decades, but it played at the place I worked in college, so I probably saw it 7 times over the course of a week. I’m pretty sure there is a butler answering the door and announcing people. I’ll bet that’s him. I must have TPS on one of my streaming services-- there’s pretty much nothing Hollywood + public domain I can’t find.
I have actually gone through the movie again, and did not see him; his role might have ended up being cut. The Lord household has two male servants, both parts credited: the butler Edward, and the chauffeur (who is also watching over the wedding gifts) Thomas. Uncle Willie has a butler with a speaking part, but that is also someone else (someone much older). You can see the backs of two different men serving drinks at the party (at Uncle Willie’s house), so he might have been one of those, and IMDb only notes him because he is a working actor not just a professional extra. Other than that, I saw nothing. CK Dexter Haven’s house does not evince a manservant, Dex answers the door (at 5am or so in the story) himself.
