(2012, p1959)., Adult, Criterion Collection Call No: DVD Fic Anatomy Edition: Two-DVD special ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Criterion collection Volume: 600Summary Note: "A virtuoso James Stewart plays a small-town Michigan lawyer who takes on a difficult case: that of a young Army lieutenant (Ben Gazzara) accused of murdering the local tavern owner who he believes raped his wife (Lee Remick). This gripping, envelope-pusher, the most popular film by Hollywood provocateur Otto Preminger, was groundbreaking for the frankness of its discussion of sex -- but more than anything else, it is a striking depiction of the power of words. Featuring an outstanding supporting cast -- with a young George C. Scott as a fiery prosecuting attorney and legendary real-life attorney Joseph N. Welch as the judge-and influential jazz score by Duke Ellington, Anatomy of a Murder is a Hollywood landmark; it was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture."--Container.
