Trial (1955): the hownos/Allaby viewing session

Tonight at 7:15 pm Eastern

I've seen 7 films by this director.

plenty of familiar faces - glenn ford, dorothy maguire, arthur kennedy character actors whit bissell, paul hoyt, elisha cook and more

start

Starting now

heavy on the music

I noticed that too, but I kind of like the music.

Character actor Robert Middleton always played the fat guy. His name in this movie is Fats Sanders.

I’ve seen 7 of his films.

Whit Bissell as the father

This is on my Oscar nom watchlist because Arthur Kennedy was nominated in support.

Jack Lemmon won for Mister Robert that year, the other nominees were Joe Mantell in Marty, Sal Mineo in Rebel Without a Cause, and Arthur O'Connell in Picnic

My personal pick was Trevor Howard in Les amants du Tage

He won the Golden Globe for this performance.

the couple are the same age, definitely not film noir.

who's the actor playing the judge?>

that's juano hernandez from intruder in the dust

Juano Hernández

3-time Oscar winner Robert Surtees shot the film.

He was also in Kiss Me Deadly and Young Man With a Horn.

Interesting to see a black judge in a 1955 film.

Question: how was the girl killed????

Dorothy Maguire was nominated for an Oscar for Gentlemen’s Agreement in 1947.
