Synopsis: A famous lawyer is hired to defend a rich guy who shot a bartender for having allegedly assaulted his wife. The town's sheriff was a close friend of the deceased's.
Appraisal: It begins well and is well directed throughout, but as the plot unfolds several flaws become apparent, such as the sheriff's unconvincing motivation for his acts. It worsens even more in the last act, where we see a second trial which is totally ridiculous and absurd both in the lawyer's utterances and in the inexplicable verdict.
