Well, I took my own advice and watched "Inherit the Wind" on Monday night and am not sorry that I did. What a terrific movie. At the risk of giving in to Old Fogeyism, I will say that Hollywood just doesn't make 'em like Spencer Tracy and Fredric March any more. Both of them turned in terrific performances, and I just can't imagine any contemporary actors doing nearly as well in these roles as these two did way back in 1960.
However, perhaps the thing that struck me most watching this is how relevant this movie still is in 2012, and I'm not so sure that that is a good thing.
Still sitting in the DVR bullpen from Monday night is "Judgement at Nuremberg". Hope to get to that sometime this week.
