more than drama

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2015)

Please read the rest of the reviews, which make excellent points about social issues, casting, cinematography, scripting, and the directness and force of pure simplicity.
Fonda and the switchblade.
Cobb and his son's picture.
My point, which addresses something more subliminal, is that this is a great detective story. How enjoyable to watch tensely as the clues are put together, not logically, but haphazardly yet effectively as in real life investigations.
12 Angry Men is seldom broadcast. Watch it every time it is.
