CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Frank (Paul Newman) gives a moving statement to the jury about faith and justice.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In Sidney Lumet's powerful courtroom drama The Verdict, Paul Newman stars as Frank Galvin, an alcoholic Boston lawyer who tries to redeem his personal and professional reputation by winning a difficult medical malpractice case. Frank, down on his luck, is presented with the case of his life when he is approached by the family of a woman who has been left in a coma following an operation in a large Catholic hospital. Helped by his assistant Mickey (Jack Warden), he agrees to take the case, hoping for a fast settlement. When he visits the victim in the hospital, he becomes emotionally involved, turns down a sizable settlement offer made by the hospital, and decides to bring the case to trial despite the formidable opposition of the Church and its lawyer, Newman (James Mason). He is also assisted by his new girlfriend, Laura (Charlotte Rampling), a woman who turns out to have an unusual past. Oscar-nominated for "Best Picture" and "Best Director" (Lumet) as well as for "Best Adapted Screenplay" (David Mamet from a novel by Barry Reed), The Verdict is an outstanding, if not very legally accurate, courtroom drama; Frank's decision to try the case without telling the family of the victim of the settlement offer would probably lead to his real-life disbarment. Paul Newman and James Mason give fine, Oscar-nominated performances, and Charlotte Rampling is quite good as the deceitful Laura, who never seems to turn down a drink.

"You are not bound by anything, other than your good judgment, based on the evidence." -- I love this line.
Especially after everything the judge had pulled up to that point. So it seems that Newman even brought the judge around.
@@drjohnson98 The judge tried everything to ruin Newman"s case, but Caitlin Costello Price's (Linsay Crouse) testimony, eventhough disallowed by the corrupt judge, was impossible to beat. The jury hearing it was alll Newman needed.
a very young Bruce Willis is in the audience behind Newman. What a great movie, not praised enough. I am sure Newman was proud of that movie.
Without a doubt, this was Paul Newman`s greatest performance. He really should of won the Oscar for best actor, in my opinion.
Always felt that his Oscar for "Color of Money" a couple of years after this was really for his performance in this film. Not that he wasn't good in Color of Money (he was good in everything he was in) but this was his finest role.
THIS rather than the sequel to The Hustler THE COLOR OF MONEY
yes sir you are correct
He got robbed...
Yes. I’ve always said that. Glad that he got an Oscar, finally, but THIS was the winning role!
RIP Jack Warden (September 18, 1920 - July 19, 2006), aged 85
And
RIP Paul Newman (January 26, 1925 - September 26, 2008), aged 83
You both will always be remembered as legends.
Two great actors! PN was excellent in the sting I nearly fell laughing on the floor when Robert shaw in the sting was talking to one of his henchmen when he replied what do you want me to do Floyd get him for cheating better than me??
The SCENE where Newman sits and takes several snapshots of his dead-in-life client lying in bed, tied to the machine in her irreversible coma. Newman realizing just then, pic after pic, that she is not an object, not just a quick way to get a lot of easy money, but a helpless woman without a single friend to fight for her rights. Newman realizing, with deep grief, that he has been an asshole for years and years, until that moment of illumination. Newman realizing, suddenly, that she deserves Respect and Help. Script by David Mamet and Sidney Lumet directing one of the most memorable films about human dignity and about the true search for Justice. I'm full of tears everytime I watch Newman's eyes in that brief scene at the hospital. They contain what I believe is the most important clue about what EMPATHY means.
M. C. B. Great analysis. On a side-note, I find it interesting that the two major Hollywood players with French last names who pronounce them in the Anglicized way were the screenwriter and director, respectively.
what a beautiful comment. thank you
M. C. B. Yes he stopped doing it for money and started for once for humanity. My father had a lawyer like that years ago when they didn't advertise when they had integrity. Like I said years ago!
Excellent observation, sir.
Empathy is a weak word, it's weak emotion. Most of the people have empathy, but it's humanity that is completely lacking from this world. And although this is mostly fiction, it represents it well. Those big corporate lawyers have empathy, but for them it's just business as usual, they just do their job, "tough luck for the victim". Newman here represents humanity
One of Paul Newman's finest roles IMO. He was excellent as Frank Galvin! Handsome as ever here too.When I see him here I feel sad he no longer walks the earth. One of the BEST.
One of the great courtroom scenes in movie history---outstanding performance.
I will stop what ever I'm doing to watch this movie. Awesome redemption.
I've seen this movie many times over my up to this point and this scene without a doubt is Newmans greatest performance, ever.
Great scene. No grandstanding, no soaring rhetoric, no self-righteous demand for justice. Frank Galvin had been on the losing end of life from Minute 1 of this movie, and even at the end you don't know if he has won anything. But he had come to terms with something important, and all he could ask of the jury was to try and do the same.
You are a good soul.
my god this scene is monumental, newman was subliminal in this movie ,along with hud and cool hand luke his best. What an actor paul newman was. Like all truly great movies you feel mentally exhausted ,yet emotionally fulfilled at the end of it.
Yes!
All in one take. Very nicely framed and lighted. Paul Newman could not have been better.
Jigsaw and John McClane, observing this trial in-person, both processed the injustice of this case in their own ways.
One of Newman's finest performances. And the film is wonderfully cast throughout, all the way down to Julie Bovasso and Lindsay Crouse as nurses. I read the book, and David Mamet performed a miracle by getting a first rate script out of a bad novel.
One of greatest scenes in a legal movie--of all time.
This speech is very relevant to today.
Bruce Willis has an uncredited background appearance as an extra in the final courtroom scene, in one of his first film appearances. Tobin Bell also appears, to Willis' right
Love that slow zoom in to Newman! Lumet's one of the best directors, ( 12 Angry Men, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, ) and a screenplay by David Mamet. Sublime supporting cast! Most memorable line? " There are no other cases..." Brilliant film!
A powerful performance by Paul Newman in the Verdict. This is a great film packed with powerful performances by all.
0:24 "You are the law"
Paul Newman was my first favourite actor.
Great directing, great script, great characters, and of course great acting. This film has all of them.
If you’ve never seen this film.... see it! Outstanding!
James Mason is an excellent actor also!
Paul Newman and James Mason together are just phenomenal.
Both were directed bt Alfred Hitchcock in youth. Legends.
MASTERPIECE!!!! I’ve seen this movie 100 times never gets old……. What a classy movie no nudity not vulgar no special effects like the movies in the last 30 years!!!Handsome Paul Newman best performance down & out lawyer makes massive come back the good guys win!!!!
What a speech!!!!!!
A very good film, one of Lumet's best pictures and one of Newman's finest performances. David Mamet's script is a real miracle, I can say that since I found the novel its based upon and it is really not good at all. Its one of the rare films when the film is better than the book, and its not even close.
Brilliance. Exemplary.
Bruce Willis is in the background behind the married couple!!!.
theefrankguy no shit
Yes, but how do you know they are married?
theefrankguy Yeah and the cheeky bugger does a couple of bush-league focus pulling moves early in the scene (hand to chin) that you’d expect of a rank amateur...
Is it him? It looks like him.
That was their status in the movie. The patient is the sister of the lady sitting in front of Willis.@@jim165670
Epic movie, one of my most favorite s together with Nobody's fool.
I saw this film on "lather, rinse, repeat" on HBO when I was 14 and it had a profound impact on me. Newman was brilliant, and how ironic that Jack Warden had played the judge in "And Justice for All"?
Love this scene and this movie. I also like the fact that everyone wore suits and were professional looking; a time before the dreaded days of dress casual took over and ruined the workplace.
Paul Newman, a WW2 veteran, knew all about guilt: he suffered survivor's guilt all his life because fate spared him death in the war. Newman was assigned to a plane on the carrier USS Bunker Hill, which was sunk in the Battle of Okinawa. The pilot of Newman's plane developed an ear infection and couldn't fly; if not for that, Newman would've been a dead man, like so many of his friends.
The best camera work in film
Brilliant movie. An attorney is handed an easy case. Wrongful death in a hospital. The insurance company offers a generous out of court settlement. Without lifting a finger, the attorney can receive a huge contingency fee. But he recognizes that a great wrong was committed, that the settlement offer is essentially a bribe not to investigate the circumstances of the death any further. And he follows his conscience, risking everything, to learn the truth.
+degree7 Thanks for the correction! I hadn't seen the movie for years. (My copy is on VHS and all I have is blue ray/dvd!)
+degree7
That's a fate worse than death. Death is all about dignity and saying goodbye to your tribe.
Don't forget fighting a corrupt judge and a corrupt Catholic church, which is GOD in Boston, and redeeming himself and the American justice system
Hello Matthew. The jury disregarded the judge's instructions. Consider when lawyers ask a witness a question knowing that the opposing attorney will object and that the judge will sustain that objection. They nevertheless ask that question knowing that the jury will not ignore it despite instructions to the contrary. If I told you that you should not think about pink elephants, isn't that precisely what you'll start thinking about?
Steve...excellent summary. Are you a critic? You could be. lol! I mean that. It was an excellent movie the overriding theme being what you just described.
We all need a mentor like Jack Warden.
He was excellent. Should have won Best Supporting if he did not. Also loved him in "All the Presidents Men".
Just perfect
one of the greatest pure movies ever movie?
Why he didn't win an Oscar for this is beyond ridiculous and political.
well said
Because the idiots in the Academy wanted to give the award to a guy in a three-hour long movie where he mostly gets beaten with a stick.
I loved my whole life without realizing what a good actor Newman was. This is my favorite movie. Cool hand Luke is a great one, but something in this seems to have even more depth and realism. And, the film is amazing!
This was filmed at Kaufman Asoria Studios in Queeen, NY. Thats Bruce Willis in the second row and Tobin Bell to Bruce's right. Both were extras watching a craftman at work.
One of those films where everything just came together 👍
The biggest dilemma in this lies with Newman's character Galvin. He's washed up, a drunk and what seems to be a lost cause with plenty of self doubt. A great awakening for him.
Notice Bruce Willis in the back haha
One of many subplots in this brilliant movie
This is one of Newman's five best performances, along with Hud, The Hustler, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Cool Hand Luke.
He made a lot of bad films, but he would rise to the occasion when he had a good script.
I watch this movie now every 3 weeks !!! He's so fascinating intelligent !! Bit has lost that instinct but finds it !! I am a Big Paul Newman Fan !! And this could be CV consider his best !! And an embarrassing oversight on the Oscars !!! HE GOT THE NOMINATION BUT NO WIN !! He worked his butt of in this movie !!! RIP Paul and thank you !@
If we maintain our energy, like he did here... we can become heroes. Legends in our own right.
One of the greatest moments in cinema for reminding us what true faith is.
Sem dúvida, uma das melhores atuações de Paul Newman. Grande filme.
Best soliloquy in modern cinema.
Two rows back on the end of the pew on Newman's left is a young Bruce Willis as an extra in the movie.
I saw it
This is Paul Newmans greatest performance. He should have won Best Actor performance. Ghandi was good but did not hold a candle to Newman
If Paul Newman was going to win an Oscar for only one role in his lifetime it should have been this one.
This is the first movie where “the working actor” completely disappeared. He became the character.
Dear God, please bring wisdom, integrity, justice and peace to my country.
Liberty and justice for all, please God. And let hope prevail!
“Your Honor, with respect, if you’re going to try my case for me, win it!”
Even though he’s hardly under the radar when discussing the merits of great screen performances (evidenced by this thread), Paul Newman is still underrated; there’s a basic consensus out there about Marlon Brando and Dustin Hoffman, but this performance by Newman - the ultimate display of a vulnerable character with a lot of baggage - is as stellar as any other great lead. It need not be a grading scale, but it often is just for the fun of it. From The Hustler to Where the Money Is (Cool Hand Luke to Road to Perdition), Newman is my choice for the greatest dramatic screen actor of all time. Sure, others like Daniel Day-Lewis have a greater range with character roles, but that doesn’t make the screen realism better. This movie across the board hit the bullseye!
The only thing I disagree with in this paragraph is that Paul Newman is in any way shape or form underrated he’s rightly considered one of the greatest actors in movie history
Randy White Indeed, you’re right; I was opining from my arbitrary criteria - in that when the greatest screen actor discussion comes up, Newman is not immediately mentioned as is Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson, even. To the consensus, Brando’s unique ‘weirdness’ is taken as some display of ‘genius’. I just don’t see it. I see Newman’s diverse array of great roles in critically acclaimed films, and I see every bit as good an actor. So, ‘underrated’ from a point of view that I think he’s even better than the critical climate seems to reflect. But, I’m thinking too much, perhaps, and yes - Newman is certainly identified widely and well-acclaimed as one of the greats of screen history. Remember Slap Shot? The comical angle he displayed in that characterization was phenomenal!
One of the best method actors.! Not many around. Thank you Paul 👍
Hey that's Bruce Willis as an extra sitting in the second row.
What a great film.
He faced tough competition from Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) in 1982. Close call, but definitely, Paul Newman at his best.
Kingsley was very good but Newman should have still won then by a mile for this.
One of my top movies
If you look in the background you can see Tobin Bell in the tan suit jacket and Bruce Willis in the row behind him in the suit, tie and hair.
One of Newman's best performances and he only got it after Redford left the project. IMO, Lumet never directed anything better than he did this. Pungently simple with the shots almost carved out in composition. Finally, I have read the novel on which Mamet based the script. It is a miracle he did what he did with it. Because the novel is really bad. In this case, the script is better than the book already.
garrison 68 I would argue “Q & A” and “Night Falls on Manhattan” were memorable films and brilliant in their own way, but yeah “The Verdict” stands in a class of its own. Mamet’s adaptation of the novel was icing on the cake. But Lumet and Paul Newman were truly the main ingredients. And let’s not forget the brilliant supporting performance from the highly underrated Jack Warden. His “a real money maker” line alone was filled with realism. Lumet was truly an actors’ director. RIP.
"Pungently"?
Was Redford supposed to play the role of Galvin or direct this?
Of all the legal dramas ever, Galvin's story represents the greatest of them. No surprise it's consistently voted as such.
Sometimes in life, the people that you trust the most are the people who will deceive you most. Example, the character played by Charlotte Rampling, an informant.
A great performance in a great scene (one of many) of a great film. Notice this is a film starring adults in adult situations. That simple element is not part of the modern Hollywood formula anymore. That may be why, somehow, this film has become rather obscure along with many of the other terrific films that Paul Newman starred in. I hope that someday there will be a revival of interest in Paul Newman's outstanding work.
I can see Bruce Willis and Tobin Bell in the shot
Paul Newmans performance is a powerful answer to why we covet the Rule of Law in this country!
Act as if you have faith, and faith will be given.
I just saw this movie on Amazon Prime. Frank redeemed himself from his past. He proved to the jury that they are the law. The jury realized that he was right, and they took into account Mrs. Costello's testimony. What a performance of Paul Newman. RIP. One of the greatest American actor's movie history.
Lindsey Crouse gave an amazing and powerful performance as the berated nurse, Caitlin Costello Price, on the witness stand.
Love that scene. It's haunting. It's been with me since I first saw this movie. "Who are these men? I wanted to be a nurse." Heartbreaking. They drove her out of the job she loved.
Wonder if that is why Caitlin became such a popular name after this. Really popular.
This is my favorite Saw film
I see you back there, Bruce, and bad guy from Saw....
"Act is if you have faith and faith will be given to you," isn't actually a quote you can find in the Bible or anywhere else, it was written by David Mamet for the film .
Well, the Bible does say, "Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door will be opened." So, I guess if you ask for faith, then it shall be given to you.
Although there are many people in the courtroom, there is plenty of vacant space around him, reflecting his predicament visually-he is now completely alone. He is cut off by lines of perspective, which repeatedly draw attention to him.
A lamp looms over his head like the Sword of Damocles, ready to fall at any moment. Almost exactly in the middle of the picture, all eyes are focused on him, making it evident that he is currently bearing the weight of the world. The imagery conveys that this is his "do-or-die" moment in every way.
Great film. Shows how easy it is to obtain metadata, even 25 years ago.
And Bruce Willis is sitting behind him as an extra in the court next to Tobin Bell.
Bruce Willis is on the right between the woman in black and the man with a red tie.
Totally under looked in lists of classic films and pretty much a textbook example of how to make a film . Sidney Lumet is a class act but the real star of show is David Mamet's script . No nudity , little profanity but definitely one for the grown ups ! Brilliant. If ever there was a film about a man given a last chance at redemption this is the best of them !
Did anyone see Bruce Willis seating in the audience. 😂
Bruce willis sitting in the benches behind paul newman ( grey suit, brown tie with silver stripe)
It's interesting to note that ten years after this movie was shot one of the background actors would end up co-starring with Paul Newman in another...
Realistically if indeed the precedence the defendant's lawyer is legally binding, then they can request for a mistrial
In the top right of the screen at the beginning is a young Bruce Willis (with hair) as an extra!
Lol Bruce Willis and Tobin Bell.
Good movies have good writers
That's Bruce Willis, second row.....it was his first movie scene, he was an extra in the crowd.
His second. He also appeared briefly in The First Deadly Sins (1980) where walks in a diner after Frank Sinatra walks out. You can hardly see but it is Willis.
Bruce willis and Tobin bell sitting as extras.
0:27 - The man sitting behind the victim's family...... Bruce Willis.
If you get chance - rent the move "A Time To Kill" with Mathew McCanaughey that last scene he did was remarkable """"""""""""""""""""""
25 years old
It's weird that David Mamet wrote this, it's the most hopeful life-affirming thing he's ever written.
I wonder why Movieclips cut the first part of his closing statement 🤔
Fantastic scene but I'm always distracted by Bruce Willis in the background. (He was an unknown extra back then.)
Anyone else notice Bruce Willis in the background?
That Bruce Willis as an extra? Behind the man with the red tie on the left?
Yes. To his right is Tobin Bell. Newman and Willis later star together as rivals in _Nobody's Fool._
Two famous JOHN's sitting in the courtroom
I cannot find that quote as scripture but the concept seems so righteous. What can or what do the faithful do but act
upon their faith.
Dennis Richardson ..It is not biblical. However it apes Jesus’ words, “ask and it shall be given unto you”.
Dude - how can Paul Newman be so hot at this age??
Bruce Willis is on 2nd row behind. That yellow shirt and beown tie doesn’t suit him a bit.
Haha look at bruce willis with his silly haircut 😆
If Paul Newman was Charles Manson's lawyer I'd vote for his side! 😂
