WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION
starstarstarstarstar
A ripping adaptation of Agatha Christie's hit stage play, brought to the screen with ingenuity and vitality by Billy Wilder. Charles Laughton stars as an ailing London barrister who can't resist taking one last case: A murder, involving a rich widow, a handsome young drifter (Tyrone Power) and his wife (the inimitable Marlene Dietrich, who steals the whole show). Wilder rids Christie's play of many of the static courtroom scenes and filled the film with his unique brand of pure visual excitement. Read the complete review for Witness For The Prosecution
