Witness for the Prosecution (1957 Billy Wilder)

Adapted by Agatha Christie's play by Wilder, Larry Marcus and Harry Kurnitz, film is more talky and less cinematic than his best, but contains terrific performances from Charles Laughton and Marlene Dietrich. With Tyrone Power, John Williams (who I'd watch in anything), Elsa Lanchester, Henry Daniell, Ian Wolfe, Una O'Connor, Ruta Lee. Read more here.

Williams: "Success will fit you like a shroud."
