you would think that the combination of alfred hitchcock and gregory peck would produce some real spark . well and in this case it sure do not . this courtroom drama be just amazingly dull and uninvolving . in fact and give the choice and i think i would prefer an episode of perry mason or even matlock . the story be so static . one reviewer like it and say that the film have less energy than traditional hitchcock suspense film . i disagree . i think it have absolutely no energy . i have try watch this film several time but keep find my attention wandering . that say a lot and a i be a rabid gregory peck fan he make so many wonderful and interesting film just not this one .
