Anatomy of a Murder is the subject of this week's episode of the Feature Underground. Directed by Otto Preminger, the film centers around a small-town lawyer (Jimmy Stewart) in a battle of wits with his big-city counterpart (George C. Scott). The pawns in this judicial chess match are played by Ben Gazzara and Lee Remick, who seem to be playing a game all their own.
We discuss the movie's subversion of courtroom drama tropes, its clever casting, the complexities of the ending, and much more.
AUDIO ONLY EPISODE. On the way home from filming, Hunter's GPS died and he ended up stranded in Sugar Land. In order not to starve, he had to consume the footage. Simple as that.
