Now Showing at the Gail Borden Library: 12 Angry Men

12 Angry Men
Monday August 10, 2009 at 10:00am

The trial of a young Puerto Rican accused of murdering his father with a knife has just concluded and the 12-man jury retires to their microscopic, sweltering quarters to decide the verdict. When the votes are counted, 11 men rule guilty, while one -- played by Henry Fonda -- doubts the obvious. Stressing the idea of "reasonable doubt," Fonda slowly chips away at the jury. The tight script and claustrophobic direction (in a one-room setting) transforms this story into an explosive and compelling nail-biter. With Lee J. Cobb, Ed Begley and Jack Warden.
