If you're thinking of watching this movie, avoid looking at its posters! The studio had the bad idea of producing some with images that give away info only revealed at the end! As of this writing, sources like IMDb and Amazon Prime feature this poster, so beware!
As for the movie, expect a solid but not outstanding courtroom thriller. Gets a little far-fetched. I was surprised to learn that actor Ray Milland did some directing, including this movie that he stars in. I enjoy old movies, so I didn't mind that this film feels like it was made by a journeyman in 1948 instead of 1968. The direction and most of the acting are simple. However, the set design and the late 60s color look rich. The Old Bailey sets could've come straight from Rumpole of the Bailey.
Of special note is Sylvia Sims, who gives the strongest performance as a competent young barrister.
