A winning and definitive courtroom drama, right up there with TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, ADAM'S RIB, WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION, and A FEW GOOD MEN. Tracy and March are perfectly matched as the dueling Colonels and the all-star cast is well-chosen with small but potent turns by future TV stars including Noah "Rocky" Beery, Dick "The First Darren" York and Harry "Sherm" Morgan. But most of all, this is a glorious late display of Spencer Tracy and his trademark bemused curmudgeonliness. All of the stars are sadly long gone now, but the message remains meaningful. Whatever your religious leanings, you will come away moved and entertained. 9/10
