The Verdict (2/5) Movie CLIP - Frank and Laura (1982) HD

BUY THE MOVIE:

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Frank (Paul Newman) shares his views on justice as he gets to know Laura (Charlotte Rampling) at the bar.

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.

1:50. that subtle, look of surprise. the moment she realizes the game has changed-- that the man she must betray has noble intentions and a good heart. fine, understated acting from charlotte rampling.

[BuckyNugget]

God, I love the way this scene is lit and photographed. The smoke, the class ring, his blue eyes.... 👌

[richardwrynn]

Franks says: maybe I can do something right. Then Laura feels uncomfortable knowing she's doing something wrong, trying to take away that chance at justice, and she represents the corruption that jurors are afraid of.

[LPJack]

RIP Paul Newman (January 26, 1925 – September 26, 2008), aged 83

James Mason and Charlotte Rampling were great in this movie as well. A well-done movie all around.

[ms-vvgg]

Sidney Lumet was the master of working in confined spaces.

[johnboy]

Rampling is stunningly beautiful here.

[not.supermario]

Man, Charlotte's voice hasn't changed since then. Still great!

[rampageclover]

Disgraceful that Newman didn't win the Oscar for this...

[obo]

Great dialogue, great acting and direction

[volumeturneddown]

Newman was great, but his character is quite straightforward: the crusader looking for justice and personal redemption. Charlotte Rampling's performance was much more fascinating. She wants to believe in him, and she wants to believe in justice, but the more she does, the more pain she feels, because she knows she has to betray him. This movie was a masterpiece.

[hotatp]

“My god you are some beautiful woman” I watched this with my wife and got that line from this movie and say it to her all the time, she knows it’s from this movie but doesn’t mind me using it on her😊

[echolot]

who the hell could resist that 00:18?!?!

[luatala]

Jimmy taking a bit long with the drinks

[themaninthesuit]

'My God, you are some beautiful woman.'




I'm stealing that line Mr. Newman

[MrForttunate]

you know it really helps when making a movie you employ actors with legendary before their names, i.e. PAUL NEWMAN and JAMES MASON .

[Craigers]

Bartender took forever to give them refills!

[movie-mandan]

Paul Newman’s best performance. Not Cool Hand Luke or The Hustler or Hot Tin Roof. This is his best

[taylorfuller]

That women just looks troubled and sad the whole movie...Charlotte.

[lkjhon]

The scene where he slaps her would cause a PC police riot if something like that were in a movie made today.
