Wow! First viewing...must say!
What a great movie. All these actors brought their A-games to this. Monty Clift owned his scene, too. I think I was holding my breath through his entire testimony. That nervous energy was very good. Great casting choice there...given his history.
But the best performance was the lawyer for Lancaster! I'd never seen him in anything before...I certainly hope he got some recognition for that performance...it was amazing.
