Inherit the Wind
Inherit the Wind
Teacher B.T. Cates is arrested for teaching Darwin's theories. Famous lawyer Henry Drummond defends him; fundamentalist politician Matthew Brady prosecutes. This is a very thinly disguised rendition of the 1925 "Scopes monkey trial" with debates between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan taken largely from the transcripts.

Found it a little preachy (pun intended) but really liked some of the long winded speeches. It very sad that this film still has relevance more than 40 years later.
