As a big fan of Peter Sellers, and British film in general, I can't believe it took me until 2019 to discover this gem (courtesy of youtube).
This is an acting tour de force from Sellers and Attenborough. Unbelievably, two men play judge, jury, barrister, and witness in an otherwise empty courtroom - and it works.
Brilliantly directed, the use of long tracking shots and back projection fill this simple film with extra dimensions.
Forget about the outcome of the case - it was never going to be too bad - and enjoy the excellent acting and direction of this little-known film.
The previous reviewer who based their review on the first 20 minutes seems to suffer from the Hollywood Condition wherein subtlety is avoided at all costs in favour of action, action, action.
