Frank Galvin (Paul Newman) in an Oscar-nominated role, is an alcoholic, ambulance-chasing, washed-up attorney. Picking up a medical malpractice suit that is gifted to him by a fellow attorney (Jack Warden), he goes against a high-powered law firm and takes it to court rather than settle, redeeming himself along the way.

One of the best court dramas

A great court drama with fantastic performances from the players. It is an interesting story to follow especially because of the believable character Newman plays so well. I also liked the fact that the other lawyer just as well played by James Mason was given a proper amount of time. Overall a great film to watch and see what happens, and to see the character of arc of Newman's character. I am glad there were not any pure evil villains and I thought the ending was very effective.
