The Verdict

[@wangmowangdi3471]

Paul Newman's good looks never faded away even until the end of his life ❤😊 Blessed and Best Actor ❤❤❤❤❤❤ RIP ❤ 🙏

[@JohnS-il1dr]

The scene that got me was the star witness shouting and crying as she just wanted to be a nurse and that was ripped from her. "WHO ARE THESE MEN???!"

[@CharlesGates-v6n]

Lindsay Crouse was indeed brilliant as the attending nurse. Every time I come to that scene I get all choked up.

[@nancydemoss2945]

What a performance by a very talented and underrated actor.

[@LPJack02]

RIP Paul Newman (January 26, 1925 - September 26, 2008), aged 83 You will always be remembered as a legend.

[@arkady714]

This was his best picture.

[@ernestkovach3305]

Newman deserved the academy award for this picture.

[@MrForttunate]

is there a NEWMAN picture where he dose not deserve one ? lol

[@christopherdaffron8115]

Newman was nominated for an Oscar, but was beaten out by Ben Kingsley for Gandhi. How ya gonna beat Gandhi ??

[@mrc6182]

A very strong cast. I need to watch again, but didn't James Mason act as the lead attorney for the Church? I remember his attempt to buy Mr. Galvin off was also a masterpiece.

[@michaelreidperry3256]

An Oscar-worthy performance, for sure. Newman’s best performance. But Ben Kingsley playing Gandhi and nailing it?

[@ob7483]

I think it's been pretty much agreed upon by media critics that his Oscar for The Color Of Money was actually for this performance.

[@williamvasilakis9619]

He did this in one take, no camera cuts. Amazing brilliant actor. He is missed.

[@arkady714]

Absolutely.

[@eugeneclasby518]

Agreed.

[@dweller6065]

I saw this in 1983 and was impressed. Still a great movie with wonderful actors. James Mason's performance was also a treat.

[@axxellein]

James Mason role was a part of a lifetime!!!!

[@patrickmoran687]

Yes. Mason was “The Prince of F*cking Darkness!” As Jack Warden pronounced.

[@samanthab1923]

Love him. Especially enjoy the Last of Sheila & Salems Lot ⭐️

[@mikekemp9877]

in the novel not movie masons characters back story was as a fighter ace in ww2.it explains that most great fighter pilots being as their one job is to kill enemy pilots and crew tend by the very nature of their work to be psychopathic as living or dying becomes unimportant compared to doing the job sucessfully.complete commitment to the job in hand is why they survived where more considerate men died.it explains mason found the one job as a lawyer which suited his relentless personality.he is not a bad man simply emotionless.rights and wrongs do not concern him his only objective is to win. it explains why he is such a sucessful and feared attorney.

@@mikekemp9877 Loved the look on his face when she said “I made a copy” he’s so fatalistic. He knows it’s over

[@marvalousmarvin9234]

I've watched this dozens of times, but I recommend you watch it at least three times. The first time for the experience of watching a master actor at work. The second time to listen to and to absorb the words in the script, and realize the effect the words have on your life, and the third time, to watch every person in the scene other than Newman. It's a movie, but you have the feeling it's real because of their reactions... and the absence of reactions. They're actors, but they believe what he's saying.

[@佐藤浩一-b7v]

I couldn't agree with you more. Great comment.

This is the case. He was right because of how you put it.

[@stevemorse108]

I felt that as he said himself his looks catapulted him to fame but in two key films; Torn curtain of Hitchcock and The Verdict when he was well directed his performances were exceptional. This film is profound, moving and an example of a master actor at work.

[@IMeMineWho]

I would add Hombre, Cool Hand Luke to that. Not to mention Butch Cassidy. And he was great in early films too..Somebody Up There Likes Me which Sly Stallone blatantly ripped off for Rocky.

My father was a lawyer who actually resembled Paul Neuman, blue eyes and all. He and his law partner had a big case against a bank that they called " the Paul Newman case . "

[@IMeMineWho]

Has he ever done a bad one? Hombre, Cool hand Luke, The Sting, Butch Cassidy..I mean, c'mon. And a gorgeous mensch..his Hole in the Wall Gang..Newman's Own. Newman, Belafonte..actors who were not only great actors and performers..but talented and altruistic.(and not to forgetting my sisters..Ms. Betty White..great comedic actress and activist. And a sweet person IRL.)

I watched this movie so many times. My brother was a lawyer and doing well but drink 🥤 took him down. I spent a few minutes with him in his beautiful sail boat on the Texas Coast, he passed a few days later because he drowned in the ocean with a very high blood alcohol content!

This is very relevant today.

[@michaelmuldowney8]

Sidney Lumet tells how on the first take Paul Newman can an immaculate perfect reading. However there was an technical issue with the camera focus. Lumet was mortified having to ask Newman to go again - but he was fine. Lumet says that this printed second take was even better. Trivia note - thats a pre fame Bruce Willis in the second row on the right.

Bruce Willis is sitting in the third row from the back, second from the right, during this scene, before the camera tracks to the right. Then, he's in the third position from the right.

[@richardyoung871]

Watching this video reminds me of when I was in court, small claims, criminal and Supreme Court, and the worst part was that I hired a crime defense lawyer, and I fought the case myself and I won the case and the judge really listened to me, as my father wanted me to be a doctor then he wanted me to be a lawyer and maybe I should have taken his suggestion and I think that I would have made it fine lawyer

[@steelers6titles]

Dramatically powerful, but utterly unrealistic. Galvin doesn't even mention the facts of the case! Possible ineffective assistance of counsel, guaranteeing reversal. But, of course, that would happen anyway because the judge earlier took over cross-examination of the plaintiff's expert, and even expressed his opinion on the ulitmate issue in the case, i.e., no negligence, right in front of the jury.

[@MrForttunate]

this is movie making at it's finest , we know how the system works , but to see it illustrated before our eyes in living color sill makes you cringe , how about director SYDNEY LUMET and actor JACK WARDEN back together after 25 yrs. to make another of the all time great courtroom dramas , the first of course being 12 ANGRY MEN .

[@artmoss6889]

David Mamet wrote a great script. Thankfully, he had no role in directing his script, for he has a tendency to make the actors perform in a stilted, self-conscious manner.
