Inherit the Wind (1960)

Action, Biography, Drama, History
Wendell Holmes, Norman Fell, Gene Kelly, Jack Klugman
Teacher B.T. Cates is arrested for teaching Darwin's theories. Famous lawyer Henry Drummond defends him; fundamentalist politician Matthew Brady prosecutes. This is a very thinly disguised rendition of the 1925 "Scopes monkey trial" with debates between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan taken largely from the transcripts.—Ed Stephan
