Anatomy of a Murder
Blu-ray Review: Criterion Edition of James Stewart’s ‘Anatomy of a Murder’
Submitted by BrianTT on March 5, 2012 - 2:06pmCHICAGO – Otto Preminger’s “Anatomy of a Murder” is a film that certainly still entertains modern audiences but should best be considered in light of when it came out in theaters. In 1959, courtroom dramas weren’t nearly as prevalent as they are in the era of “Law & Order” and discussions of rape and murder were not yet common in film. It may be hard for young audiences to believe but this spectacular film truly pushed the envelope of what could be done in a film like it and creatively succeeded in every way.
