Review of Anatomy of a Murder (1959) by Richard D — 24 Jul 2016
Otto Preminger was a director more persistent on performances than cinematography, or so I think. Anatomy of A Murder is the ultimate expression of this. The performances from Jimmy Stewart and George C. Scott (especially) are absolutely brilliant. For a film nearly 3 hours in length, Anatomy of A Murder is BRISK.
Side note: Oh, and a little tidbit: as a critic who notices the little things more than the big things, a man can be seen reading Leon Uris's Exodus. Exodus was Otto Preminger's next movie.
