But in it was looked on as look back to another era where we presumably learned of the folly of imposing religious views on the body politic. I don't think anyone thought that the religious right would reawaken and become the force it has. Not in when this film came out or when another version that starred Kirk Douglas and Jason Robards, Jr. All three versions have a chilling timeliness about them now.

He's the first charged under this new Tennessee statute and three times presidential candidate Matthew Harrison Brady modeled on William Jennings Bryan volunteers to be on the prosecution team. Of course that generates a lot of publicity and Henry Drummond based on Clarence Darrow is brought in to defend.

In the original film Fredric March really got the Bryan character down pat. But George C. Scott is a fascinating Matthew Harrison Brady. Certainly the most fanatical of the group. Then again few actors could get as intense as George C. Jack Lemmon is a more relaxed and low key Henry Drummond. He was not in real life as noble a character as Spencer Tracy played him in Jason Robards, Jr.

Of course the highlight in the film and the real trial itself is the confrontation when Drummond Darrow calls Brady Bryan as an expert witness on the Bible. Then as now how willfully ignorant Lemmon shows Scott to be. Not just ignorant but determinedly so and determined to keep all views but his own out of our educational system.

I can hardly wait for this oft told tale to be told again. Till then this and the other version are to be seen and seen again. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. SnoopyStyle 21 December Showtime does an adaptation of the famous play which was inspired by the case. In the small southern town of Hillsboro, school teacher Bertram Cates Tom Everett Scott is arrested for teaching evolution. Scott against each other. These are great actors. The veterans are putting their full selves into these classic roles.

There are still aspects that I would change. I don't like the laughing. I don't want to change the play but the laughing saps out the seriousness of Brady's breakdown. I know he later says that they were laughing at him. They could cut out that line. I don't want celebration. I don't want laughter. I want shocked silence. This version of the Scopes Trial is better than the first TV version for several reasons, the first is that its a reasonable running time.

Next it doesn't have breaks for commercials, this was done for cable and not commercial TV. Lastly this has the performances of Lemon and Scott who come damn close to equaling Tracy and March in the first version of this. George C Scott was to star on Broadway in a revival of this play a year or two before he made this film. Illness prevented him appearing in most of the run, but based on this performance seeing it live must have been electric. There are several small moments, one near the end of the film in particular where his mastery of acting shine through.

In that final moment, the weight of the battle and its implications loom large, sitting on his bed with his wife he begins to break down in ways that are touching and heart breaking. Lemmon is his equal and he easily makes this one for the ages as he spars with Scott about what is and is not history and sacred.

This is a great TV movie which only has as its flaw the fact that its not the original. It was a fabulous film and boasted an intelligent script. Now this script has come to television for the second remake , and boasts two top actors who came to prominence in the s - Jack Lemmon as Henry Drummond, and George C Scott as Matthew Harrison Brady. Both inhabit their characters perfectly, and it is always a joy to see two old-timers sparring on the screen when their styles gel so well.

Both looking old and tired Scott died shortly after completing this, Lemmon in , their battle in court has a different kind of emphasis than the original, where the leads appeared in better health and were that bit younger. However, even at the end of their careers, Scott and Lemmon are really excellent, and Beau Bridges is also memorable in a role first played by dancer-turned-actor Gene Kelly, while Piper Laurie provides good support.

TV remakes are often redundant but this one passes the quality test and is well worth a look, especially if you are a fan of either of the leads. It's also an interesting complement to the remake of Twelve Angry Men in which they both appeared a couple of years earlier. Excellent remake mermatt 30 May The Showtime cable channel has scored another success here.

The fictionalized retelling of the famous "Monkey Trial" is an interesting study in what is still with us -- the struggle between literal interpretation of the Bible and secular science. In other words, we will inherit nothing but talk. The cast is excellent. This is a worthy successor to the powerful film.

Fine attempt. This production of Inherit the Wind is a fine attempt but just doesn't have the punch that the original one did. I would on the other hand rate this one over the version. Jack Lemmon gave a somewhat flat performance as did George C. Scott sadly in his last role.

It's not completely bad but if you really want to watch this story then the Stanley Kramer production with Spencer Tracy and Fredrick March is the way to go.

You'll notice the difference. One additional note: If Jason Robards portrayal of Henry Drummond from the 88 version would have been in this one now that would have made a difference.

FlickJunkie-2 30 January This film is a remake of a movie about the 'Scopes' monkey trial in July of , argued by prominent statesman William Jennings Bryan for the prosecution and the Bible and equally the prominent Clarence Darrow for the defense, scientific thought and Darwin. Rather than compare it with the original, which I understand was brilliant, I will evaluate it on its own. This is a powerful and thought provoking courtroom drama about a school teacher who was arrested for teaching evolution, then considered a heresy against God and the bible.

The topic is unfortunately as timely today as it was 75 years ago. The film is extremely effective at illustrating the pervasive ignorance and fear so prevalent in fundamentalist religions. It depicts with great clarity, the frenzied and irrational efforts undertaken to suppress any knowledge that threatens to debunk the myth and simple minded traditions that bind the faithful together.

Unfortunately, the presentation of the story had certain flaws that kept it from being a truly great film. My biggest objections are all directorial. First, this film was visually mediocre and pedestrian.

The camera basically followed the speaker around the room at the same angles from pretty much the same distances. There were very few reaction shots which would have greatly enhanced the drama.

I don't think there was a single reaction shot of any member of the jury and only a couple from the gallery. Director Daniel Petrie takes enormous artistic license in presenting the trial. The way it was portrayed it seemed more like an unmoderated debate between the lawyers than a criminal trial with rules of court.

Granted, it was a small town in , but this was ridiculous. In real trials, lawyers have two opportunities to give speeches in a trial, in opening and closing statements. During the trial itself, they are only to ask questions and gather evidence under very strict rules.

They can't give speeches or lead the witness or inject their opinion about a witness' testimony. This was flouted in the film as lawyers violated these rules repeatedly with nary an objection from the other side. Ironically, the most important speeches of the trial, closing arguments were completely missing from the film. I found Jack Lemon's portrayal of defense lawyer Henry Drummond to be disturbingly restrained.

Lemon is clearly capable of unfettered rage and indignation, yet he played his character with resignation and defeatism rather than frustration and wrath. He simply didn't fight hard enough for the principles in which he supposedly believed. I blame this on Petrie. Without question, the performance of the film belonged to George C. Scott in his last performance before his death a stunning coincidence since William Jennings Bryan, on whom Scott's character is based, died shortly after this trial.

So it was his last performance as well. Scott is magnificent as the bible thumping prosecutor rattling the rafters of the little courthouse with his booming gravel voice. This was the type of part Scott was born to play and it may have been his best performance since Patton. For this reason alone this film should be on every film buff's list.

If only Lemon brought similar fire to his part, this film would have been riveting. Beau Bridges was a bit overly obnoxious as the sardonic reporter E. The role called for a good deal of cynicism, but Bridges got carried away. Lane Smith gives a terrific performance as the Lord possessed Reverend Brown, who damns his own daughter to hell for refusing to renounce her love for her fiance Cates, the accused school teacher.

His sermon at the prayer meeting was more than worthy of any cable TV evangelist. I think it would be rated higher by most people who think of a courtroom as more of a dramatic setting than place of justice. Overall it is a credible update of a topic that should remain in the forefront of our minds if we hope to continue living in a free and rational society.

To see the two great actors, George C. Scott and Jack Lemmon, in this drama is worth being subjected to the greatly sentimentalized and wholly ahistorical script. This film has little to say about the real "Scopes Monkey Trial" and the citizens of the town where it took place are crudely caricatured as only script writers and directors unfamiliar with the South can do.

The original Spencer Tracy film remains the best but this remake is worth seeing too. I think Inherit the wind was a good movie. This movie was made in , making this George C Scott's last tv movie to make.

He died in , Jack Lemmon is a fantastic actor and one of my favourites. He died in I give this tv movie 10 out of 10 because i think it is a great tv movie. This made for TV film version of the famous Lawrence and Lee Broadway success is a very enjoyable presentation, and captures two splendid veteran actors doing great work in the twilight of their careers. In the years since its original theatrical release, there have been two more made for TV film versions of Inherit the Wind IW.

Each of the four performances has champions and critics. All of them are interesting and worth seeing. None is dull and to be avoided. That in itself is rather remarkable. The four versions are: 1 theatrical film starring Fredric March and Spencer Tracy.

Scott and Jack Lemmon. Something very interesting happens when these four versions are considered as one body of work. Let me explain. For simplicity, I'll refer to each version by its indicated number. Item: Three of the eight actors who played leading roles in the four versions of IW also played the identical leading roles in either a theatrical or TV film version of Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. The man starred in the theatrical movie version, and the woman originated the female leading role in the earlier TV version. They are Jack Lemmon 4 and Piper Laurie 4. Item: Two actors who had principal roles in one version of IW also appeared as co-stars in the film Spartacus.

They are Kirk Douglas 3 and Jean Simmons 3. Item: Two actors who had principal roles in one version of IW also appeared as co-stars in the film The Hustler. They are George C. Scott 4 and Piper Laurie 4. Item: Two actors who had principal roles in two different versions of IW also appeared as co-stars in the film The Hustler. Scott 4 and Murray Hamilton 2. Of course. But interesting? You bet! A great film for a history classroom Coolguy-7 15 February Although my one-line summary says it's great for a history classroom, which of course it is, I actually watched it in government class.

It is about the trial of John Scopes who had been arrested for teaching the evolution of human beings and saying that they evolved rather than were created by God.

This is a pretty weird law and in America the land of free speech. This was something that they would've done to you back in the Middle Ages.

I mean this story takes place in the 's for Heaven sakes. Certainly by that time we knew more about science to believe that humans evolved over a period of time. This was a pretty good movie and I think that all history students should watch it.

Fair Adaptation of a great play. I have never seen a poor adaptation of this great American Classic,however if I were to choose the worst adaptation out of a good bunch this recent adaptation would qualify. George C. Jack Lemmon was merely adequate in Scott's stage role of Drummond and the two never seemed to make a connection the way Scott and Charles Durning did on stage,or the way Spencer Tracy and Frederick March did on screen.

Beau Bridges was a fine,sarcastic E. In fact all the names of the dramatis personae of the Scopes Trial have been changed to allow some creativity by the authors Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee. Of course that is what Inherit the Wind is primarily known for, a duel of double Academy Award winners. Bryan is a man whose time has passed him by. But he's still a hero to the folks of small town rural America in the south and middle west. One thing to remember is that while Bryan was a great orator and advocate, he had not practiced law in over 30 years when he stepped into the courtroom for the trial.

If he had been a better lawyer, he might not have fallen into the one big trap Tracy set for him and the trial and the attending publicity might have been better for his side. No one in Hollywood could do long take speeches quite like Spencer Tracy though. I'm sure that's why Director Stanley Kramer hired him and they developed quite the screen partnership with Tracy doing four of his last five screen roles for Kramer. Stanley Kramer made some impeccable casting choices filling out the minor roles of the various townspeople of Hillsboro, Tennessee.

There are two that I would single out. Claude Akins who usually played tough guys in various action films was astounding as the town preacher, the Reverend Jeremiah Brown. Sad to say there are still many like him out there. Akins's offbeat casting worked wonders, it turned out to be the high point of his screen career. On the opposite end of the spectrum was Noah Beery, Jr. Beery is the town non-conformist, he refused to allow his son to be baptized and Akins has said the adolescent is in hell because of it.

In a key scene when Tracy draws the ire of Judge Harry Morgan who sentences him to jail for contempt of court, Beery offers to put up his farm for collateral for Tracy's bail. Tracy's about to quit the case, but that simple gesture gives him hope, in the ultimate decency and clearheadedness of ordinary people. It's my favorite scene in Inherit the Wind. Stanley Kramer lived long enough to see this film become so relevant for today's times.
