Film: "Twelve Angry Men" (1957).
To create an air of heaviness and tension, Sidney Lumet apparently moved the
walls of the juror's room in as the plot developed (only three minutes were
shot outside the room), but for whatever reason this remains a compelling
study of changing human emotions. Henry Fonda is so persuasive as the juror
who argues convincingly against convicting the defendant in a murder case - in
fact, the cast as a whole - including Lee J. Cobb, E. G. Marshall and Martin
Balsam - is faultless.
