Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The taped performance of Henry Fonda's one-man show was aired as "IBM Presents Clarence Darrow" on September 4, 1974, on NBC.Clarence Darrow is/was a larger-than-life figure. Although I know relatively little about him personally, the cases he was involved with still have a lasting impact today. The Scopes case, the Leopold and Loeb case, some union trials... and this one-man show is as relevant in 2017 as it was in 1974, amazingly enough.Fonda is fantastic and really brings Darrow to life. What made him so great (and Fonda expresses this well) is how he made himself a part of the trials. An attorney is more often than not a tool of the client. But with Darrow, you didn't just get a legal argument... you got a whole philosophy of life. Whether he questioned religion or raised Nietzschean ideas, he argued from the soul rather than the law book.
