don not look for for exact factual screenplay here and rather enjoy gary cooper sensitive acting . i agree it run more like a play and in that sense be do very well and all the actor perform well . half the fun of this movie be watch the young support cast and identify the future star of hawaii fiveo and bewitch and the nightstalker and and a few others i haven not figure out yet . you will see good than half the support cast on the situational comedy of the 1950 . the cross examination scene with rod steiger and gary cooper be pretty good too . as much a i like gary cooper it would have be interesting and and probably a good movie and to see cagney a mitchell .
