Agatha Christie is one of the most adapted writers
for the big screen, but also rarely managed to deliver a bad movie script. Her
crime mysteries were just too good in their core, offering endless plot twists,
as did one of her first adaptations, ”Witness for the prosecution”.
William Wilder’s movie brought Marlen Dietrich’s
charisma to the big screen, but also managed to keep the tension of a murder
trial all the way through the entire movie, climaxing in a really unexpected and well hidden final twist. On the other hand, the acting and the development of
characters won’t be revolutionary.
If you are into crime/mystery/trial movies you
should not miss ”Witness for the prosecution”, a classical genre mainstream.
