Inherit the wind
15 April 2006This is a must see movie about a fictionalized account of the 1925 Scopes monkey trial directed by Stanley Kramer starring Spencer Tracy, Fredric March, and Gene Kelly. Even though this is considered one of Spencer Tracy’s best role, I would rate his role in Bad Day at Black Rock as his best.
Here is the outline of the movie from netflix:
Spencer Tracy (in one of his best roles) as lawyer Henry Drummond and Frederic March as Matthew Harrison Brady square off as opposing attorneys in this blistering courtroom drama about the famed 1930s “Scopes Monkey Trial,” where a Tennessee teacher was taken to task for teaching Darwinism in the schoolroom. Song-and-dance man Gene Kelly co-stars as newspaper reporter H.L. Mencken.
Here is comprehensive analysis of the play and the movie by Lyndsey McCabe at University of Virginia, SparkNote: drama study guide from Christian Lorentzen, wikipedia link to the movie, review by filmsite, and a list of other reviews.
