"If we ever turn these into a book," Mike remarks in this episode, "it'll be called Trial by Viewer." That's one of the subjects the guys discuss when they look at Otto Preminger's Anatomy of a Murder (1959), one of the greatest courtroom-dramas of all time because it breaks some fundamental rules about the genre--and, in doing so, puts the viewer in the same uncomfortable place as the jury. So suspend judgment for now, pause that Duke Ellington CD, and settle in for a conversation about Jimmy Stewart and George C. Scott as two lawyers trying the case of the unlikable Ben Gazzara.
