Monday, October 29 on Turner Classic Movies, two courtroom dramas both starring Spencer Tracy and directed by Stanley Kramer:
8:00 PM - "Inherit the Wind" (1960) Based on the famous Scopes "monkey trial". Also starring Fredric March and Gene Kelly in a non-singing, non-dancing dramatic role, and featuring Dick York. I never knew he did anything but "Bewitched".
10:15 PM - "Judgement at Nuremberg" (1961) What a cast in addition to Tracy: Marlene Dietrich, Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Judy Garland, Richard Widmark, Werner "Col. Klink" Kemperer, and, oh, yeah, Maximilian Schell who won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance. Screenwriter Abby Mann also won the Oscar for this screenplay.
Good movies!!
