Human life don't mean as much to them as it does to us!

Rating: 9/10 (12 July 2010)

How I managed to avoid seeing this critically acclaimed film up to now is a mystery. After watching a piece of complete and utter trash last night, I have to revert to something of quality to cleanse my palate.
Henry Fonda, the calm voice of reason one one side, and Lee J. Cobb screaming on the other. Ed Begley plays an enraged racist that mirrors Cobb's anger.
Some of the best actors of the time were in that room: Oscar winner Martin Balsam, E.G. Marshall, double Oscar-nominee Jack Warden, Cobb with two Oscar nominations, and Oscar winners Begley and Fonda. They played their parts brilliantly, giving us an insight into their characters and how that influenced their decisions.
Simply amazing!
