About

You may like this if you enjoy tense legal mysteries with shifting suspicions and strong performances; not for you if you want fast pacing or a modern feel, and it may appeal if you liked The Girl on the Train or Klute.

Pros: gripping mystery; strong performances; tense courtroom drama | Cons: slow pacing; dated attitudes; some coincidences
