Anatomy Of A Murder up next on TCM 1pm ET.
The character played by James Stewart is loosely based on the lifestyle of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas. And the judge in the film is Joseph N. Welch famous for confronting Sen. Joe McCarthy at the Army-McCarthy hearings saying, "Have you no sense of decency sir?" Great film worth watching again.

1. great film indeed
and I loved Lee Remick's performance too. Certainly one of Stewart's better roles-- and there are a lot of great performances of his to choose from!

2. Stewart was nominated for an Oscar for this.
Noms also for Best Picture and Arthur O'Connell and George C Scott for Supp. Actor. They all were caught up in the Ben Hur sweep that year.
