My wife is a lawyer, and I've been working on cars since the '60s. This is one of our favorite movies in large part because the script writer did their homework. The courtroom scenes were so accurate that her Criminal Procedure professor used it as an example, and using the similarity of the Buick Skylark and Pontiac Tempest while pointing out the difference in limited-slip and IRS was brilliant. The casting and acting were wonderful also, it's just about as perfect of a comedy movie as you're going to get.

Here's what most everyone misses. I did the first couple viewings. The night before, Vinnie is looking at the shots she took with her little pink camera. He's studying the pictures because he knows the secret is there. Gotta be there somewhere. And then, he finds it! But he doesn't tell her. That's what everyone misses. He knew, and he knew she knew. Before that, he was ragging on her pictures. Remember that? "What's this? A picture of a bush!"

People complain about Marisa Tomei getting the Oscar nod for this performance but she did an excellent job with the character. Plus, it was a really good year for supporting roles and the vote was spread out as a result. When you've got Joan Plowright, Vanessa Redgrave, Judy Davis and Miranda Richardson nominated it would be hard for the voters to pick a favorite. Plus, in fairness, the movies the other actresses were in were Oscar bait dramas that no one outside of a film school class cares about. If you were old enough you might remember Howard's End from that year but does anyone really remember Husbands and Wives, Enchanted April or Damage.

I drove a 63 Pontiac Le Mans Tempest. Gold, 2 door, It had a 2-3 inch lever on the dash to shift the automatic transmission in the rear with the transaxle. (the transmission and rear axle were combined) 326 engine that could burn the tires if you wanted too. It was to easy to over drive it. Which I did repeatedly.

The part about the Tempest (and what the sheriff presents in the next scene) is actually just extra. When he proves his clients' car couldn't be the one used as the getaway car after the murder, he won the case. That's enough to get reasonable doubt.
