Another Liberal Propaganda Classic

Rating: 4/10 (8 September 2006)

Ah, another Liberal "classic" with Henry Fonda, a true left winger showing all the right wingers where they went wrong!
This all-star cast is really a play as the entire thing takes places in a jurors' room where 12 men determine the fate of a suspect charged with murder. Eleven of them vote "guilty" but Fonda holds out for "not guilty." The story is about him slowly convincing everyone else to see things his way. There are lots of familiar faces from the '50s: Lee J. Cobb, Ed Begley, E.G. Marshall, Jack Warden, Martin Balsam, Jack Klugman, etc. They are all interesting.
Good for one look. As with most movies with political leanings (this one, All The Kings Men, The Manchurian Candidate, etc.) Hollywood is always ready for re-makes where Liberal causes are far more pronounced than they are in these classic movies. Only in the twisted mind of Liberals are we to have more sympathy for the criminal than the victim. Only in Hollywood are the defense attorneys always the good guys and movies end like this where nobody ever goes to jail!
