Thoughts on every movie I've ever seen.

Witness for the Prosecution (1957)

Directed by Billy Wilder

Starring Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester

Author

Marlene Deitrech was the 1950’s version of Rosie Perez, complete with the tight lips, r-to-w pronunciation, and eerie beauty. And I could have sworn I have seen the film’s dorky protagonist as a game show host somewhere. And somebody else was Gilda Radner or some other SNL character.

It was really neat seeing that “Do not divulge the ending to your friends” disclaimer at the end of the film just before the credits.
