Review of Witness for the Prosecution (1957) by Isidhu S — 09 May 2008
I was floored by the brilliance of this Billy Wilder film when I first saw it. Charles Laughton is great as the crotchety old lawyer recently returned from the hospital, but ready and able in mind to help out a seemingly innocent man.
Tyrone Power, best remembered for The Mark of Zorro I think, gives an equally great performance as that seemingly innocent man. The women in her are also brilliant Marlene Dietrich and Elsa Lanchester being the perfect complements to their men.
There are many other familiar faces for those that have the eye and the story is one of the best.
