[ **Courtroom dramas** 1. A Time to Kill 2. 12 Angry Men 3. Inherit the Wind 4. The Rainmaker 5. To Kill a Mockingbird 6. The Paradine Case A decidedly minor Hitchcock film. But still, Hitchcock is one of my lifelong favorite directors. ---

Witness for the Prosecution @dirtball— I love _The Paradine Case._ One great thing about Hitchcock was his pacing-- the slower, the better, it seemed. The actors in _The Paradine Case_ and perfect for this: Gregory Peck, Ethel Barrymore, Louis Jourdan and Charles Laughton. All the weakness is in the script. ---
