Plot Summary:It's Britain, 1953. Upon his return to work following a heart attack, irrepressible barrister Sir Wilfrid Robarts, known as a barrister for the hopeless, takes on a murder case, much to the exasperation of his medical team, led by his overly regulated private nurse, Miss Plimsoll, who tries her hardest to ensure that he not return to his hard living ways - including excessive cigar smoking and drinking - while he takes his medication and gets his much needed rest. That case is defending American war veteran Leonard Vole, a poor, out of work, struggling inventor who is accused of murdering his fifty-six year old lonely and wealthy widowed acquaintance, Emily French. The initial evidence is circumstantial but points to Leonard as the murderer. Despite being happily married to East German former beer hall performer Christine Vole, he fostered that friendship with Mrs. French in the hopes that she would finance one of his many inventions to the tune of a few hundred pounds. It thus does not help his case when it is learned that Mrs. French changed her will prior to her murder with Leonard being the primary beneficiary of a £80,000 estate. Leonard states that he knew nothing about the will. Christine is apparently the only alibi Leonard has to his whereabouts at the time of the murder. The usual methods Sir Wilfrid uses to test his clients' guilt or innocence leads to him believing that Leonard is indeed innocent. As the trial progresses, the prosecution calls a surprise witness, one that could place a nail in the coffin of Sir Wilfrid's planned line of defense. As Sir Wilfrid gets deeper and deeper into the case, something doesn't quite sit right with him, although he doesn't know what it is. The primary questions become how far Sir Wilfrid will go to obtain evidence to acquit Leonard, and if he will ever discover why he feels that there is something odd about the case.
大宝 • 一场关于人性与正义的庭审大戏
首先,电影在剧情设置上极具匠心。它围绕一宗看似普通的刑事案展开,一个富有的寡妇在家里被杀,嫌疑人仅有一人,命案发生当晚在寡妇家做客,寡妇遗产既得利益者,通过庭审的形式,展现了控辩双方的激烈交锋。故.....不敢向诸峰 • 《控方证人》

看完太激动了(含剧透): 电影的华彩部分出现在最后十分钟,让人拍案叫绝!像一颗花椰菜,层层剥离出真相。 男人被指控谋杀,我们的态度和爵士(辩方律师)基本一致,他有一个单片眼镜,就像一种变异后的观众视角...ommo • 好
在刻画大律师的戏中,还有一处细节很有意思。庭审期间,每当他人发言,劳顿就似乎穷极无聊地在桌上摆弄着护士给他的二十几个药片,摆成横竖齐整的方阵。然后,镜头溶出,大街上的报摊上正出售有关案件发展的报纸.....夏末 • 论优秀的剧情安排和反转

影片对我最直观的感受是他详细的展现了英国法庭的当时审判的形式,这是一点。另外影片场景处理上非常简单,律师事务所、法庭、车站,还有就只剩男主角的回忆了。这些简单的场景,有力地勾画了剧情的节奏,你可以.....飛 • 比原著精彩
简单写一下电影剧本较原著做出的改进: 1、对辩护律师进行了细致刻画。包括家庭环境、身体状况、性格特征等等,尤其是女佣角色的加入,代入了几段关于偷抽雪茄、偷喝白兰地、拒绝打针休息的桥段,让严谨严肃的律....栖砚之白 • 这不是谋杀,是处决

意想不到的结尾
台词太厉害了

好强反转!挺诙谐的,语速相比当时也比较快!中间还穿插了一些回忆。满满当当的
经典。。。整体节奏好喜欢
