Witness for the Prosecution (1957)
Country: US
Technical: bw 114m
Director: Billy Wilder
Cast: Tyrone Power, Charles Laughton, Marlene Dietrich
Synopsis:
A lawyer defends a German woman against a charge of murder which looks pretty airtight.
Review:
Big acting guns for a rare foray by the director into this genre of picture. Cleverly written with a surprise resolution, but an unnecessary flashback to give Dietrich a song to sing in Germany adds to the excessive length.
