Review of Inherit the Wind (1960) by Lawrence W — 15 Jul 2007
Not only is it one of the most fun shows to perform, it's also one of the best movies to watch. Two of my acting idols, the always great Spencer Tracy, and the wonderfully versatile Fredric March duel over Evolution in this courtroom drama based on history. Tracy, a liberal attorney defends a schoolteacher who taught evolution against prosecutor former Sec of State, thrice unsucessful Presidential candidate, March (Whose roles are inspired by Darrow and Bryan). Pittsburgh dancer Gene Kelly really turns on his acting ability as cynical newsman EK Hornbeck (Real life counterpart, Mencken).
