SIDNEY LUMET'S UNPARALLELED TRIAL DRAMA STARRING HENRY FONDAONE OF THE TEN MOST POPULAR FILMS OF ALL TIME, ACCORDING TO IMDB.COM!12 Angry Men, by SIDNEY LUMET (Network), may be the most radical big-screen courtroom drama in cinema history. A behind-closed-doors look at the American legal system as riveting as it is spare, the iconic adaptation of Reginald Rose's teleplay stars HENRY FONDA (Young Mr. Lincoln) as the initially dissenting foreman on a jury of white men ready to pass judgment on a Puerto Rican teenager charged with murdering his father. What results is a saga of epic proportions that plays out in real time over ninety minutes in one sweltering room. Lumet's electrifying snapshot of 1950s America on the verge of change is one of the great feature-film debuts.SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:New high-definition digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackFrank Schaffner's 1955 television version, with an introduction by Ron Simon, director of the Paley Centre for Media Studies 12 Angry Men : From Television to the Big Screen, a video essay by film scholar Vance Kapley comparing the Sidney Lumet and Schaffner versionsArchival interviews with LumetNew interview about the director with writer Walter BernsteinNew interview with Simon about television writer Reginald RoseNew interview with cinematographer John Bailey in which he discusses cinematographer Boris KaufmanTragedy in a Temporary Town (1956), a teleplay directed by Lumet and written by RoseOriginal theatrical trailerPLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by writer and law professor Thane RosenbaumClick Images to Enlarge
