Fred Zinnemann
Alfred ''Fred'' Zinnemann (April 29, 1907 – March 14, 1997) was an Austrian Empire-born American film director. He won four Academy Awards for directing and producing films in various genres, including thrillers, westerns, film noir and play adaptations. He made 25 feature films during his 50-year career. He was among the first directors to insist on using authentic locations and for mixing stars with civilians to give his films more realism. Within the film industry, he was considered a maverick for taking risks and thereby creating unique films, with many of his stories being dramas about lone and principled individuals tested by tragic events. According to one historian, Zinnemann's style demonstrated his sense of "psychological realism and his apparent determination to make worthwhile pictures that are nevertheless highly entertaining." Among his films were ''The Search'' (1948), '' The Men'' (1950), '' High Noon'' (1952), ''From Here to Eternity'' (1953), ''Oklahoma!'' ( ...

The Boys (1962 British Film)
''The Boys'' is a 1962 British courtroom drama film, directed by Sidney J. Furie and with a screenplay by Stuart Douglass. Plot Four youth Teddy boys are on trial for the murder of a garage night watchman in the course of a burglary on the night of January 15. Witnesses and the accused give differing accounts of the lead-up to the crime, a dispiriting and frustrating evening out in London. Flashbacks of the teenagers' insecure and sometimes alienated lives contrast strongly with the austere legality of the courtroom as, by degrees, the truth emerges. The film acts as a series of vignettes, relating to the evidence of each witness, who saw the boys on the evening in question. Each story helps to build an overall picture of their character. The overall ambience is that adults presumed they were bad without basing this on any actual observation. Most witnesses admit they prejudged the boys' character based on appearance. The boys admit to their defence that they are hooligans an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

12 Angry Men (1957 Film)
''12 Angry Men'' is a 1957 American courtroom drama film directed by Sidney Lumet, adapted from a 1954 teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose.

It stars Henry Fonda (who also produced the film with Reginald Rose), Lee J. Cobb, Ed Begley, E. G. Marshall, and Jack Warden.

The film forces the audience to evaluate their own self-image through observing the personalities, experiences, and actions of the jurors. The film i ...
