12 Angry Men
During the trial of a guy who is accused of killing his father, a single member of the jury decides to speak out against the guilty judgement that the other members of the jury have reached as a result of their preconceived notions and biases. Reginald Rose adapted this movie both from his own film version that was released in 1957 and was directed by Sidney Lumet, as well as from the Westinghouse One television program that came out before it. A Golden Globe was awarded to George C. Scott for his performance in a supporting role, while righteous juror Jack Lemmon was passed over for the award for Best Actor. However, Golden Globe winner Ving Rhames (for Don King) dedicated his trophy to Lemmon.
