Inherit the Wind (1988) (TV)

Synopsis: In a small American town, a school teacher is arrested for teaching the Evolution theory. The trial is the object of great media attention; the prosecutor is a religious reactionary who is planning to use the trial for boosting his upcoming candidacy for the U.S. Presidency, and the defense lawyer is a smart man of liberal ideas. Based on a 1955 play which was inspired by events which took place in 1925.

Appraisal: This is the second film that I see based on this play. I can't remember much of the earlier one, except that I liked it. I liked this one too, it is entertaining and the two main actors are terrific.

Rating: 56
