There will never be another Paul Newman. He should have won the Oscar for The Verdict

The amazing David Mamet wrote this remarkable screenplay; directed by Sidney Lumet. The performances of the entire cast are nothing short of breathtaking.

Bruce Willis is sitting behind Paul Newman's right shoulder in this scene. His first - ever on screen appearance.

Awesome ending to an amazing movie! A young Bruce Willis in the courtroom

In case anyone is curious, you can see a young Bruce Willis in the background as an extra

Paul Newman had the bad luck of going against Ben Kingsley for Ghandi.

anyone pop over here after watching that Bruce Willis interview?

I can see Newman “performing” here. It’s Mamet, it’s Lumet, and yes Newman and cast want to be real… but they try too hard. I’m not saying I can do better with all of the cameras, extras, and artistic desire. His acting and others’ would’ve worked better for a play. Film is different.

Bruce Willis should have won an Oscar for this. He was good.

One of the more powerful, poignant and moving films you'll ever see. If you've never viewed this work, you should do yourself a favor and do so. You'll walk away, stunned at the performances and the writing and the gift of Paul Newman. As a surgeon, I wish I could tell you that the events depicted herein couldn't happen. That would be a lie. I could regale you with hours of incompetence and subterfuge mirroring these events, occurrence after occurrence, a number of which resulted in the death of the patient (a number of whom were babies.) Very sad. Pax.
