Thelma - so far, my fave 2024 film, LOVE June Squibb here. Witness for the Prosecution - inspired courtroom drama, just a smidgen above Anatomy of a Murder. 🎥

Tyrone Power has top billing, but Laughton, Dietrich & Elsa Lanchester are scene stealers. 6 Oscar noms. #filmsky 📽
unlabelledView post →Witness For the Prosecution (Billy Wilder, 1957): can you call a film "charismatic"? Wilder and his trio of actors are having a lot of fun here and the intensity of the late twist is a bit of a wallop! I saw a scene from this on TV aged 6 or so and had never forgotten it, until rewatching last year.

unlabelledView post →Marlene's in Witness for the Prosecution (a UK-set film rather than a UK film) is probably the champion, but there's also one in Basil Dearden's excellent Sapphire, which I watched recently. I'm sure there are more; I just can't summon them up.

A small child asks Richard Kind to recommend a movie and Richard Kind very sincerely suggests Witness For The Prosecution.

Here, you don't know that you live." My favorite Garbo movie is “Witness For The Prosecution.” It’s an Agatha Christie story director Billy Wilder.

unlabelledView post →You are correct that this took place with "Witness For The Prosecution" back in 1957. Not only was there a voiceover at the end of the credits of the film, there were also cinema posters asking viewers not to disclose the ending. Fun fact: Agatha Christie loved this screen adaptation of her book.
