What Trial Is About
In California in 1947 a Mexican American boy is accused of raping and killing a white girl. A law professor with no courtroom experience takes on the defence and soon sees that the boy is caught between two sides: the town wants a lynching, while the circle organising his defence is using the case to raise funds. Mark Robson’s hundred and five minute film was adapted from Don M. Mankiewicz’s 1955 novel. Glenn Ford plays the lawyer, Rafael Campos the boy, Katy Jurado his mother and Juano Hernandez the judge, with Dorothy McGuire also in the cast. Arthur Kennedy, as Barney Castle, was nominated for the Academy Award for best supporting actor and won a Golden Globe for the same performance.
