12 Angry Men (1957)

director: sydney lumet

12 Angry Men is based on a jury’s deliberations in a capital murder case. A 12 year old Latin boy is
accused of murdering his father with a knife, and is on the verge of being announced a death sentence,
and the jury of 12 members is asked to deliberate on the issue. The case appears to be open-and-shut:
The defendant has a weak alibi; a knife he claimed to have lost is found at the murder scene; and several
witnesses either heard screaming, saw the killing or the boy fleeing the scene. Eleven of the jurors
immediately vote guilty; only one casts a not guilty vote. At first Mr. Davis’ bases his vote more so for
the sake of discussion after all, the jurors must believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is
guilty. As the deliberations unfold, the story quickly becomes a study of the jurors’ complex personalities
(which range from wise, bright and empathetic to arrogant, prejudiced and merciless), preconceptions,
backgrounds and interactions.

operandi while green Detective Mills scoffs at his efforts to get inside the mind of a killer...

married couple as you can get, alternatively badgering, berating, abusing and loving each other, both
alone and accompanied by the naive young married couple that have come over for a nightcap. The fun
and games in which George and Martha involve Nick and Honey are a lacerating look at the older

troubling preview of what the younger couple's life could become. Combines the banal, the vulgar and
the poetic.
