Guilt, faith, justice and redemption are all on display in this 1982 courtroom drama directed by Sidney Lumet. Paul Newman gives perhaps his greatest performance as boozing, ambulance-chasing attorney Frank Galvin, who tries to reclaim his soul by winning a malpractice case against a huge Catholic hospital, represented by a prestigious law firm. James Mason is deliciously evil as the rival attorney; Jack Ward is Frank's faithful pal and Charlotte Rampling is the mysterious woman who witnesses Frank's crisis. Chet and Dee talk about why Newman chose this role and Lumet chose this script after others decided it was too dark. It's easy to talk about the things we believe in, but it's much harder to put those beliefs into action. We can all learn a lesson from this deeply flawed hero.
