Indeed. Most of these actors were either already legends or became legends later. Jack Klugman (who played the kid from the slums, and who was eventually one of the best television actors of his generation, in multiple series over decades) said later that he couldn’t believe he was acting with Lee J. Cobb, who he’d seen onstage in “Death of a Salesman” (an acknowledged masterpiece).

The part that really got me about this movie was a phrase I had learned just before seeing it in high school: "the banality of evil." The racist isn't racist because of some slight from the defendant's ethnic group; it's just the easiest way to interpret it . . . "Everyone knows that." No more thinking required. It takes a whole room of people to show him that his thinking is wrong, on a fundamental level. And he thought he was one of the good guys. That's a hard hit; yet he took it. Like a man. In my head cannon, every man walked out of that room changed; not least of which our lead, who saw a chance to show compassion to someone who had reprehensible traits, and took it. And listen to your old folks, people; they've seen more than you know.

It's such an obvious lesson from our jury system to the corporate world: encourage people to talk, to debate, to argue, to present solutions and try to poke holes in them.

It's an absolute masterclass in quality filmmaking that "12 guys talking in a room" can be made into such a masterpiece. And the meek little guy you said you liked is John Fiedler, who was in an incredible amount of media but would be most famous to me and you as the voice of Piglet. Maybe the most interesting thing to me is that whether or not the kid actually did it doesn't matter much. The real conflict is entirely on the tension, conflict, and conversation between the jurors as they each wind up facing their own lives as well as the details of the case. It's one of my favorite films ever for that reason. Then at the end of it all, they just go their separate ways. They've each changed and grown and decided the fate of another human being, then just like that they're all gone.

This film is perfect in every conceivable way, but for me, even more so, it is an absolute masterclass in cinematography; the lighting, blocking, framing and shot compositions are such a sight to behold that I'm convinced that this is one of the best shot American films of the 20th century. Also, Sidney Lumet was a maverick filmmaker, and you DEFINITELY need to watch the following: Q&A, The Verdict, Prince of the City, Serpico, Night Falls on Manhattan, Deathtrap and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. You're welcome in advance ❤

yes, also George C Scott.... Ozzy Davis, and so many other greats.. I mentioned Tony Danza because I thought he seemed the most unusual cast choice

I don't know if anyone has addressed the question that you had at around the 13:30 Mark about the towel dispenser in the bathroom, but I have experience with them so... It's not endless but when you approach that, and by the way it's a cloth towel not a paper towel, you pull down on the towel and get a clean section for yourself!! Then of course the next person does the same thing!! And as you saw with the first dispenser that he tried the towel wouldn't move so that's the indication that it's at the end and needs to be changed!! Hope that clears it up for you!!

This was my first time watching as well and it was an awesome movie! The loud guy, portrayed by Lee J. Cobb, was also in The Exorcist. Amazing actor!

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. These actors are incredible and tell the story so well. I’m so glad you watched it.

The paper towel thing was cloth. As you pull it more cloth towel comes down from a roll. When the whole roll is dirty someone's takes it away to be washed.

@JL Yes you will come to understand 75% of the best films were made fro the 1930's til the 1980's. The Black and White films holdup so well as good scripts good acting and good direction is timeless.. Yes these were some of the best actors of their time and Fonda (the nice guy lead) is one of the best of all time. I love when you see the black and white classics. @EOM Thanks for all the fun editing and the amazing patrons who picked this classic
