5.0 out of 5 stars Landmark Courtroom Drama
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2011
Verified Purchase
"Inherit the Wind," an electrifying drama, is based on the famous evolution versus creation theory of Charles Darwin. When a small Bible belt town learns that a young teacher has dared introduce his students to the theory of evolution, they jail him for teaching blasphemy. The courtroom face off brings together God-fearing Matthew Harrison Brady (read William Jennings Bryant) and Henry Drummond (read Clarence Darrow), Brady's worthy adversary. Written in 1955, the drama blasted McCarthyism. In 2011, the play gives us bombastic overtones of the current political scene. Overall, this is a testament, as Drummond puts it, "to the right to think." While I appreciate both the Jack Lemon, George C. Scott production and the Spencer Tracy, Frederic March film, my preference is to the intensity of the former.

Not quite the same punch as the original in my opinion but the legendary actors make it worthwhile. Lemmon, Scott and Beau Bridges are all good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie Review
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2010
Verified Purchase
I had looked for this version of the movie on dvd for quite a while now. Years ago, I rented it on vhs, but later on after I had started my dvd collection, this version was one film I would hope to find on dvd, but not until just recently. When I found it on amazon, I quickly picked it up. In my opinion with George C Scott & Jack Lemmon in the lead roles, if you like this type of movie, I recommend it. I had already seen the original with Spencer Tracy quite a while before I bought the remake, but I have to admit, when you think of movie remakes, the people who made this remake of "Inherit The Wind", they hit a home run with this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent film about a true court case
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2013
Verified Purchase
This court case was famous in its day and this particular movie about the events and the characters is superb. George C. Scott and Jack Lemmon are excellent in their respective roles as the attorneys in the case. If you've never heard of the Scopes Monkey trial, this would be a good place to start. If you do know about the trial, this would be a wonderful way to remember it since it is historical and as accurate as a movie can be about a real court case.

3.0 out of 5 stars Classic play gets a 1999 updated film.
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2022
Verified Purchase
A new adaptation of the classic 1950’s play featuring two powerhouse actors in the twilight in their career, “Inherit the Wind” was made in released on Showtime in 1999. Four months after it’s airing Oscar and Emmy winner George C. Scott passed away and, two years later, Oscar and Emmy winner Jack Lemmon passed as well.

A fictionalized version of the Scopes Monkey trial with the real people replaced by fictionalized versions, the film also fictionalized events but that doesn’t detract from the quality of the play nor the fact that it is relevant today; it was written and used as an allegory for the McCarthy Communist trials by the authors, it still remains a powerful work.

The major problem with it is the look, style and feel of the film which betrays the era it was made I’m. Daniel Patrice’s direction is fine but a bit uninspired. The screenplay also coild have updated the material a bit more as the dialog and some of the performances (aside from Lemmon, Scott and Lane Smith) are stilted.

Nevertheless, it’s worth watching for Lemmon, Scott and Smith (and Beau Bridges is terrific in his performance as newspaper man Hornbeck). Neither actor is in the best of health and it’s evident that both are fragile but that only adds to their performances and they manage to overcome some of their health limitations.

The Blu-ray presentation looks exceptionally good but keep in mind the soft focus cinematography was a choice and this is true to the look of the show. Detail is good throughout particularly in close up and the colors look quite nice. The film looks like it did get a restoration and it’s relatively damage free from whst I can tell. Idiot is quite nice.

We get a commentary track as the most important extra here with details on the production and background on the actors.

While the 1999 adaption looks dated, it still is a pretty powerful play and worth watching it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Which side on you on? The Bible or the Periodic Table?
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2007

This 1999 TV reproduction is not as funny as the 1960 movie version with the same title, but it is still very good. The content is almost identical to the earlier movie version, but the actors are less funny. The whole thing is based on the 1925 Monkey Trial in Tennessee where a high-school teacher called Scope was arrested for having once taught evolution in class. The ensuing trial attracted international attention. Though Scope was convicted and fined $100, the fundamentalist Christians who interpret the Bible literally are depicted as clowns in the movie.
