wonderful!:

Let me simply say this is a fantastic film. Incredible performances abound, particularly in the main leads. Charles Laughton as the crusty lawyer is wonderful, as his oscar for best actor for this role attests. Elsa Lanchester and Tyrone Power are also at the top of their game, but it's Marlene Dietrich who is the soul of this film. She breathes life into Christine Vole, and supplies the juice in what would be otherwise simply a typical sordid courtroom drama. The twists and turns of the plot will keep you... more info

Billy Wilder's ultimate best!!!!!:

Director Billy Wilder has crafted the most energetic adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel entitled "Witness for the Prosecution" An aging bannister named Wilfrid Robards (played brilliantly by Charles Laughton) can't resist taking an intriguing murder case involving Leonard Vole (played by Tyrone Power in his final film). A seemingly open and shut case becomes more and complicated as the case gains momentum. Splendid acting by all including Marlene Dietrich as Leonard's wife Christine and Elsa Lanchester... more info

Witness for the Prosecution:

I first saw this movie as I was walking out the door, and continued to stand mezmirized by the twists and turns. To see these two great actors, not playing their normal roles but so opposite of what I normally see them as.
I was 2 hours late for an appointment, because I was literally glued to the TV
