i watch witness for the prosecution on the this movie channel hop it would be just as good a the original and but unfortunately not . it play like a tv episode instead of a movie and and the acting be very stilted . even the way they move feel like watch robot in motion rather than a natural performance . i do not know who to blame the director or the actor but in either case the actor look like actor and not real people experience real event . i recommend you get the original movie which do feel natural . charles laughton do a brilliant job a the lawyer . even if you have to rent it and the original movie be good than this free tv version and worth the expenditure . pb sometimes run the original on weekend and so maybe you can catch it then .
