48. I watched this tonight as a tribute.

It just struck me how the sham-trial in this movie matches the sham-trial that just concluded today. Both of them with preordained outcomes, and neither of them resulting in anything close to actual justice.

Great movie and great actor. His contribution to quality cinema will not be forgotten.
