The affable Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) is being tried for the murder of a wealthy woman, and legendary lawyer Sir Wilfrid Robarts (Charles Laughton) has chosen to represent him.

To Sir Wilfrid's surprise, this is only the first in a series of puzzling revelations and reversals.

Dietrich could easily been nominated for a best-actress Oscar for her performance in this film. She was THAT good!
Good grief man,her acting like her singing was non existent.
Apparently you are in a minority. She received outstanding critical acclaim for her performance and three years later appeared in a substantial role in Stanley Kramer's
"Judgement in Nuremberg". Musically, she was a stylist, and her concert appearances were always heavily attended if not sold out. She was a legend.
@@Zva26 You must be stone deaf.I've seen her concert in London,she just 'tee dummed' her why through rubbishy old show tunes,to an audience of sentimental old queens.If think she could act then good luck to you,certainly not my idea of a Wendy Hiller or Maggie Smith.
You have a very hateful tone to your posts. And who's comparing her to Maggie Smith or Wendy Hiller? "Sentimental old queens"? Haven't heard THAT one in a long time. I think I've got YOUR number, and I prefer not to take this any further. Have a great life!
@@Zva26 Nothing 'hateful' in the slightest and no you haven't 'got my number' either,wrong on both counts..
I love dietrich! She was such a great actress! I miss her and her acting and singing! And this was one of the best movies she's ever acted in! I love her! I want to be the next dietrich someday.
Marlene dietrich fan She could neither sing or act.
@@andrewpalframan4666 Keep hallucinating.
Another movies by Marlene Dietrich including Destry Rides Again, Kismet (Original Version), Judgement At Nuremberg, Rancho Notorious, Stage Fright, Witness For The Prosecution & Touch of Evil
Good luck to you.❤
The classics of film industry
Best courtroom scene in the history of film. The Verdict with Paul Newman is second best.
& also To Kill A Mockingbird with Gregory Peck is the third best of courtroom scene
Anatomy of a Murder is 4th, Adam’s Rib is 5th
“Wilfred the fox. That’s what we call him, that’s what he is.”
Except he got outfoxed 😅
When he pulled the letter trick off I was shouting in triumph pointing both fingers at the screen going "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
who cares?
@@44fr63 shaddup
DAAAAAMN YOU!!!! DAAAAAAMN YOUUUU!!!
...... 🤣🤣🤣 👍
1:56 Christine Holm Vole: Damn You!
😎
I introduced younger members of my family to this over the Christmas, we did a movie night. They were spellbound........this is one of the best movies ever.
1:57 when you're at work and someone says or does that one small thing to finally break you
1:56 Christine Helm Vole: Damn You! Damn You!
In the 2016 BBC adaptation this lady cursed all men at this point. Sign of the times.
The best thing about this scene is that we were not shown his Bermuda Shorts. 😉
Great film scene and writing. What a result 😂 very cunning
I just love this scene! Laughton and Dietrich supposedly got along well, with respect. They are both at their best here. Dietrich allows Laughton to say" this happens to be a bill from my tailor etc etc" B4 her " DAmn You!"
Anyone else here after hearing about it on archer?
Dietrich is just so gorgeous
Archer brought me here
We don't have acting like this anymore😢
Один из старых и довольно с неплохим сюжетом фильмов...
OMG 😍😍
No gavels in English courts, ruins the entire film
God she can't act. I know her character was setting it all up, so some might excuse her "overacting" here as a character choice, but I think that's giving her too much of the benefit of the doubt. Her line deliveries are always awful.
Well, you can't deny her impact. She's been more than 20 years dead and here are you and I, talking about her.
I hate when people say "Overacting", this is a "Movie" "Film" . Not a scene from real life.
I thought she was excellent until she went for the "damn you" part. The building up to it was brilliant. The delivery itself was iffy, I agree. But she's great at the moment of the big reveal, by the end. I don't think she was generally suited to acting "big". She was mesmerising in Morocco and all her films with Von Sternberg really. In Witness for the Prosecution, she was indeed somewhat uneven.
@@plutoshearer3650 People acted in old movies like they were in a stage so a lot of old movies have overacting. It is 1950s that we saw the rise of more cinematic acting with Marlin Brando
@@travisbickle4360 Marlon Brando not Marlin Brando
