5/5
Witness for the Prosecution
by Dorothy Parker (Philadelphia, PA USA)
I first saw this movie a long time ago....and when it was on PBS recently I knew I had to have a copy in my personal library. I am so glad I was able to purchase this and to share it with so many people who will appreciate an engrossing thriller and wonderful acting...which is unfortunately missing in so many of the films today.
5/5
excellent vintage entertainment
by T. Osgood (Detroit suburb, MI USA)
Bought this to show my teenagers that some oldies are excellent. They couldn't believe the sharp (sarcastic) humor from Laughton's character. Lots of plot twists and turns. Good family entertainment for 12+. Black and white.
5/5
Wilder a talent director
by Nestor Sanchez
Wilder is really in my opinion one of the best and talented director's i 've ever seen.His capacity to write an script, to translate his ideas into a cinematographer language is brilliant.The election of the performers was made with great accuracy,power is a versatile actor and mrs Dietrich is magnetic
Laughton is a remarkable british performer who combines with the whole enterprise
4/5
Classic movie
by R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States)
This movie is one of Agatha Cristie's best plays.
This version is only faulted by the lead Tyrone Power
not seem as British as he probably should. Marlene Dietrich
and Charles Laughton are both very good.
I liked it even seeing for at least the second time
having forgotten the strange ending.
5/5
Witness For the Prosecution
by Nancy J. Baker (Kansas City)
This is one of the all time greatest murder mystery movies I've ever seen. It has a phenomenal cast. I don't want to give anything away with details of the story, but suffice it to say this is a "must-see" for all murder mystery lovers, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!
Witness For the Prosecution Summary
Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 05/20/2008 Run Time: 116 Minutes Rating: Nr
Billy Wilder cowrote and directed this brilliant 1957 mystery based on Agatha Christie's celebrated play about an aging London barrister (Charles Laughton) who's preparing to retire when he takes the defense in the most vexing murder case of his distinguished career. In his final completed film (he died of a heart attack less than a year later), Tyrone Power plays the prime suspect in the murder of a wealthy widow, and Marlene Dietrich plays the wife of the accused, whose testimony--and true identity--holds the key to solving the case. A classic of courtroom suspense,
Witness for the Prosecution
is one of those movies with enough double-crossing twists to keep the viewer guessing right up to the very end, when yet another surprise is deftly revealed. This being a Billy Wilder film, the dialogue is first-rate and the acting superb, with both Laughton and his offscreen wife Elsa Lanchester (playing the barrister's pesty nurse) winning Academy Awards for their performances. Although later films would concoct even more complicated courtroom scenarios, this remains one of the best films of its kind and a model for all those films that followed its lead.
