INHERIT THE WIND (BLU-RAY)

“What is astonishing in this 1960 film is the gutsy way it engages in ideas, pulls no punches in its language, and allows the characters long and impassioned speeches...Both Tracy and March vent an anger and passion through their characters that ventures beyond acting into holy zeal.” ?Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“Mr. Kramer has wonderfully accomplished not only a graphic fleshing of his theme but he also has got one of the most brilliant and engrossing displays of acting ever witnessed on the screen.” ?Bosley Crowther, The New York Times

Producer-director Stanley Kramer’s Inherit the Wind (1960) is a classic courtroom drama based on the real-life Scopes “Monkey” Trial of 1925. Here, a Clarence Darrow-like defense attorney (Spencer Tracy) faces off against a fundamentalist prosecutor (Fredric March) in the case of a young schoolteacher (Dick York) brought to trial for breaking a “wicked law” (in the words of Tracy’s civil libertarian lawyer) that forbids the teaching of evolution in local public schools. Creationism versus evolution is the still-relevant theme of the film, which passionately asserts “the right to think.” Nominated for four Academy AwardsR.
