Billy Wilder / US, 1957 / 116 min.
In this classic courtroom drama based on a play by Agatha Christie and starring Marlene Dietrich, an experienced barrister defends a man who has nothing going for him. By focusing on dialogue, acting and comic detail, Wilder created an airy game of guile and deceit.
