The Paradine Case (31-Dec-1947)

Director: Alfred Hitchcock

Writers: Alma Reville; David O. Selznick

From novel by: Robert Hichens

Keywords: Crime, Courtroom

Renowned barrister Anthony Keane, defending Mrs. Paradine who poisoned her blind husband, becomes so smitten with his beautiful client that he risks his reputation and marriage. Lesser Hitchcock effort, but a good (albeit slow-moving) courtroom drama when taken on its own merits. Gregory Peck is miscast as an English barrister. Ethel Barrymore received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
