What I Watched -- Inherit the Wind

One of my law partners has been extolling the virtues of Inherit the Wind for as long as I have been working with him.  I finally got around to watching it.

Some parts of the film are overwhelmed by that classic movie camp, the corny comedy that makes old movies feel, well, old.  Out of date.

On the other hand, the subject matter is spot on.  And it astonished me how directly the subjects of the Bible and Darwinism were addressed so many years ago.

And, at the risk of spoiling the end of this film, it all works out, but perhaps not as the viewer might have hoped.  And it's a courtroom drama, so who doesn't love that?

Bottom line: one of the classics that is absolutely worth watching.
