The Dock Brief (1962) AKA Trial and Error
Director James Hill
Writers John Mortimer and Pierre Rouve
This movie is based on a one-act play
Made at Shepperton Studios, England
There are not a lot of people in this movie. Peter Sellers and Richard Attenborough play most of the time and parts. Because most of it is fantasy on their part, the bulk of the movie takes place in one room that is jail on one side and court on the other. This is ideal for a play. They do show interaction (flashbacks) of the cheerful wife (Beryl Reid), and you will want to help Herbert Fowle (Richard Attenborough) the Accused Murderer do the deed.
Just at the point that you are getting into it, the movie ends.
