12 Angry Men was written by Reginald Rose. It was originally a television play that was broadcast live in 1954 (it’s available on TH-cam). Rose later created the classic courtroom series “The Defenders” which starred E.G. Marshall (Juror #4 here) as a defense attorney. Several episodes are available on TH-cam and are well worth viewing.
Yeah, "Witness for the Prosecution (1957), "Anatomy of a Murder" (1959), "Inherit the Wind" (1960) and "Judgement at Nuremburg" (1961). All courtroom dramas-all shot in glorious black and white. I'd also suggest two other films from the era that aren't courtroom dramas-"The Last Hurrah" (1958) which is a political drama and "Touch of Evil" (1958) which is a crime drama and considered to be the last great "Film Noir" movie.
This is perfect timing... 'The Women' 1939 Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, and Norma Shearer. I won't tell you what it's about, other than a fun fact. There's not one "male" in the film, other than a voice on the radio and one in a photograph. It's one of my favorites. I think you'd enjoy it. You've the right sort of temperament and humour.😊
As to the Jurors... Henry Fonda of course the father of Peter and Jane (and Bridgette's grandpa) the architect. Juror #1 the soft spoken one is the voice of Winnie the Pooh's 'Piglet' Juror #12 the moderator was the private detective in 'Psycho' Juror #2 the really angry man was the detective in 'The Exorcist' Juror #5 the one from the slums is Jack Klugman from the 'Odd Couple' and Juror #9 ( the racist one) is Ed Beagley Jr.'s father.
@@CRAkins1020 So in other words, a whole bunch of unknowns lol. I liked all those characters, they were all so individualistic (if that's a word) and memorable in their own ways.
@@dunkyvslife7447 None of the extras are male either. No males in the background. Nada ( however... When I found out this fun fact I rewatched it.... I saw a painting of a bull in one of the colourized scenes )
In 1957, there were only three states in America that did not allow women on the jury. This was set in New York so it was possible for women to have been put on the jury. This movie was based on a television play by the same name and of course it wouldn’t be called 12 angry men if women were on this jury. It would have been called 12 angry jurors.
I'm suprised it was only 3 in 1957. Seems like it's headed back that way now (Woe v Rade)... sorry, don't get me started. I want to see an actual live play of this badly, probably get my hopes up and the actors will suck though lol.
Not to mention his starring role as Oscar Madison in the long-running The Odd Couple. I believe he also holds the record for number of appearances in The Twilight Zone.
The actor who played the father with the estranged son is LeeJ Cobb. He was also in on the waterfront with Marlon Brando. I think Lee J Cobb always plays bad guys are angry guys. The jury foreman played by Martin balsam was also in psycho as the detective arbogast
Not always...he did play the movie loving detective in The Exorcist...not bad or angry much at all, though he was quite strange, asking everyone to go to the movies with him. LOL He also played a good guy in both of the Flint movies, though in those he was quite grumpy most of the time...but he has an epic "resting angry bastard' face which tends to make him look much more furious than he may actually be. 😂
Irony: Juror #3 (Lee J. Cobb) is all focused on the respect his son didn't show him. and then loudly and vocally opposes the old man (Juror #9) ridiculing him.
Yep, and he was basically trying to punish his son vicariously through the defendant. Made me think of Tony Soprano "Those that want respect, give respect".
Actually the imigrant jury George Vsockovic, or Jiří Voskovič is actually from Czech Republic. He was big movie star back here, but had to flee before the nazis overtook our country because of his ethnicity. It gives more depth to how he defenses the democracy. Greetings from Czechia
It often seems like immigrants know more about their adopted countries than the people who were born there. So a star in TWO countries! Nice one. G'day from Australia!
Some great B&W classics include Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (Liz Taylor and Richard Burton), Paper Moon.... ( Ryan O'Neal and his daughter Tatum...who won an Oscar...it was her first role) The Miracle Worker (based on Helen Keller starring Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke), They aren't courtroom based...but just good storytelling and classic films. So many others of course.....
I've heard of most of them but not all, I'm going to do a mix of genres to try to pick up some subs (no marvel or star wars though). Did Nicole Kidman do a remake of Virginia Woolf? Seems familiar.
@@dunkyvslife7447 Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf has nothing to do with the movie with Nicole Kidman. That movie was called The Hours and yes the author Virginia Woolf was a real person and Kidman portrayed her. I still don't know the reference....lol. But they are not related that I'm aware of except for in a literary sense within the context of the original recommended movie. And I had to google check how to spell recommend three times before I spelled it right. I hate trying to spell that word.
@@jwes869 Haha, me too! I used to have a problem with banana until that no doubt song came out, so I sing it in my head every time I'm going to write it, sounds like we both need a song for (let me check your spelling...) recommend! Thanks for clearing up my confusion on the Kidman front.
The story went from a Teleplay written by Reginald Rose in 1954 to a 1955 Theatrical Play by Rose to the 1957 Screenplay also by Rose... And yes, the story is told in the small, poorly cooled Jurors' Room no matter which media it's told in...
The oxbow incident brutal version of 12 angry men also starring Henry fonda Witness of the prosecution my favorite courtroom drama And ofcourse to kill a mockingbird
Someone else mentioned Witness for the prosecution too, must be good. Atticus Finch is who comes to mind when people ask me for my definition of 'a man's man'. He's my ultimate 'man'.
Good reaction, @dunkyvslife7447. To answer your questions, 1. The actor playing the guy from the slums about whom you said "Where have I seen that guy before?" is Jack Klugman. He did a lot of things but is perhaps best known for being one half of "The Odd Couple" on TV. His other TV series was "Quincy," and he's the guest star playing different characters on the TV show "The Twilight Zone." So it's probably one or more of those three things. Btw, the guy playing the high-voiced nebbish is John Fiedler, best known as the voice of Piglet in the Winnie-the-Pooh cartoons. Can't tell you where you know Robert Webber, the indecisive Mad Man guy from, but perhaps he looks familiar because he was a very busy actor on TV and in movies. Just to take one example, he plays Dudley Moore's gay songwriting partner in the movie "10." 2. This movie was not based on a play, but it *was* based on a TV play that's also available on TH-cam. This original is OK but lacks all the brilliant camerawork, editing and set design of this version. And Bob Cummings, the actor in the Fonda role, is nowhere near as good as Fonda. (Even the set in this version keeps changing so that the room gets smaller and smaller around them.) However, after this movie came out, it HAS been turned into a stage play that's been done many times. So you CAN star in it! #dunkyvslife7447
P.S. Other people have suggested other courtroom dramas. Some of them are good, but there really are very few as good as this one. I can name two, however: "The Verdict," from the same director (Sidney Lumet) and starring Jack Lemmon, and "Witness for the Prosecution" starring Charles Laughton, Marlene Dietrich and Elsa "Bride of Frankenstein" Lanchester. They are both flawlessly good.
I've been given most of this information besides the actual room getting smaller. You mentioned it in an offhand way but that seems pretty bloody awesome! At least next time I watch it I can pay particular attention to that.
@@dunkyvslife7447 It's not done in the typical Expressionist way. It's subtle so it's not even noticed. It's meant to affect you subconsciously, as the walls are closing in. After the Lee J. Cobb character breaks, I believe they return to the original set again, and the room has gone back to the size it was originally. All through the film there are ingenious tracking shots, close-ups, editing -- the full language of film just to capture what happens in one room. It's shot almost like a great Western. So much thought seems to have gone into every shot. And this was Sidney Lumet's very first film. Three other great ones: "The Verdict," "Serpico," "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead." Lumet is great when shooting in NYC -- not so great when trying other types of films.
@@AndyMakesPlaylists So cool! Some actual big directors these days would probably end up making this movie boring, even with the same dialogue. I'll have to remember the NYC thing. I have to up my movie intake now, will probably start doing two per week if this is the engagement I get!
You wouldn’t have to look very hard to see what a distinguished group of actors. of these men were. Television and film backgrounds with real depth for each of them. The last holdout juror was played by Lee J. Cobb. Years later, he played a great supporting role as the detective in, The Exorcist.
You are wondering where you saw some of these people..the foreman..no.1..was in Breakfast at Tiffany’s with Audrey Hepburn..the Hollywood producer..and with Paul Newman in Hombre..no.2..the voice of Piglet..many movies I can’t recall..because he doesn’t have that stand out personality..juror no.3..Lee J. Cobb..On the Waterfront with Marlon Brando..and an American TV series called The Virginian with James Drury..number 4 is E.G. Marshall..a few years later had his own series as a defense lawyer…The Defenders..number five is Jack Klugman..a few Twilight Zone episodes..then had two very successful series on TV..The Odd Couple w/ Tony Randle..and then Quincy..M.E.#6..Jack Warden..Used Cars with Kurt Russell and While You Were Sleeping..with Sandra Bullock..as Saul..then legendary Henry Fonda..The Grapes of Wrath..1940..about America’s Great Depression and Dust Bowl..the bigot is Ed Begley..a fine actor whose son also acts..the son was in GREEDY with Michael J.Fox..the old man was in Hang ‘Em High with Clint Eastwood..1968..the last one actually played in a Pink Panther movie..as a mob boss..very funny ..
Thanks for the filmography, so many people have been telling me information I feel I could pass a test now lol. Makes me realise how much I've been missing!
"Twelve Angry Men (Penguin Classics) Paperback by Reginald Rose (Author), David Mamet (Introduction) A landmark American drama that inspired a classic film and a Broadway revival-featuring an introduction by David Mamet A blistering character study and an examination of the American melting pot and the judicial system that keeps it in check, Twelve Angry Men holds at its core a deeply patriotic faith in the U.S. legal system. The play centers on Juror Eight, who is at first the sole holdout in an 11-1 guilty vote. Eight sets his sights not on proving the other jurors wrong but rather on getting them to look at the situation in a clear-eyed way not affected by their personal prejudices or biases. Reginald Rose deliberately and carefully peels away the layers of artifice from the men and allows a fuller picture to form of them-and of America, at its best and worst. After the critically acclaimed teleplay aired in 1954, this landmark American drama went on to become a cinematic masterpiece in 1957 starring Henry Fonda, for which Rose wrote the adaptation. More recently, Twelve Angry Men had a successful, and award-winning, run on Broadway."
Hell yeah, bro. You should've made this longer though, pause a bit, give us your thoughts! My recommendation for more like this is Glengarry Glenross, but also Network (my personal fav).
Animated?! Oh maaan, I suggest Wizards, or any Bakshi films. He was an arse, but he got some of the trippiest animated films ever produced. Fritz the Cat, Coonskin, Heavy Traffic, he even did half of Lord of the Rings.
So there are certainly lots of classic older movies recommended below but what makes this one so intriguing is the one room setting. If you are looking for another movie that takes place all in one location I recommend The Guilty (2018/Denmark). There is a remake (2021/USA) if you'd rather not do subtitles, almost as good but the original is better....
Another courtroom drama you may be interested in Is called anatomy of a murder with James Stewart. I think all reactors have reacted to Psycho and the shawshank redemption. You might want to react to those if you haven’t already.
The defendant is presumed innocent. The jury doesn't determine whether the defendant is guilty but, rather, whether the prosecution proved guilt. If the verdict is not guilty, the defendant is still innocent.
@@dunkyvslife7447 The US Constitution guarantees due process. Due process is premised upon PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE. The jury doesn't determine whether the defendant -- who is presumed INNOCENT -- is guilty or innocent; it determines whether the PROSECUTION PROVED guilt. If not, then the defendant is still, as all along, innocent.
For tears and tissues..try The Green Mile with Tom Hanks and then INTERSTELLAR..with Michael Caine..and an all star cast…finally for tears..Field of Dreams…with Keven Costner..
Seen those except for Field of Dreams because I've seen so many clips over the years and avoided because I'm not a baseball fan. Just watched Inside Out and got quite teary lol, should be out in next few days.
if you like a real good story. good directing and acting. Here's a couple. The Man Who Would be KING. with Sean Connery, Micheal Caine and Christopher Plummer. The Bridge over the River Kwai. with Willian Holden , Alec Guinness and Jack Hawkins. Both films won 4 or more oscars
My dad loves 'The man who would be king' and my grandpa worked on the River Kwai, James Russell Savage, so I've seen the movie many times. There's a book with his photo in it too. He wrote a book himself called 'Guest of the Emperor', it's not a very fun read.
"Anymore like this?" So the "entire movie in one room" is a subgenre to itself but includes lots of sci-fi and horror films. If you want another black and white classic with similar tone but totally different premise - Mr Smith Goes to Washington.
I think I get that confused with Look whose comeing to dinner (neither of which I've seen. I even count Resevoir Dogs as it ALMOST does the same thing.
@@dunkyvslife7447 veeeery different. Look Who's Coming to Dinner is 1967 about a white woman who brings the black doctor she's dating home to meet her parents. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is 1939 about an idealistic politician.
As a first timer, probably whoever has the least amount of lines otherwise maybe the angry guy who says 'I'm gonna kill you' before realizing what he's said. That's a tough question though.
Just goes to show that you don't need gun fights, car chases or massive explosions to make an excellent classic movie. May I suggest you watch another old b/w sci-fi film called 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' ? - it's unusual
Should be required viewing for all jurors.
!00% agree!
All humans. It’s useful for day to day interactions.
This movie isn't ABOUT a court case, it's about how we let our prejudices and feelings get in the way of seeing the truth.
Seriously, I've learnt so much just from this, no kidding. Seriously, take that or not but it's true.
I've seen this so many times that I can quote the entire script. The backstory from the writer, director, and cinematographer are very insightful.
I dont't know how you feel about this but I'm BUSTING to join an ameteur play group just to play the guy in the thumbnail. I'm feeling the PASSION!
To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the most famous courtroom dramas.
I know, Atticus Finch is my definition of 'a real man'! Better than anyone else I can think of.
@@dunkyvslife7447 yes indeed!
Another similar movie is Lifeboat by Alfred Hitchcock. People trapped on a boat and how they interact/react to their situation.
That's the one where Hitchcock is in the paper yeah? So cool lol.

It was possible for women to serve, but it was also easy for them to be excused from jury service by claiming family responsibilities
Another name would have been The Verdict, before Paul Neumann used the name years later.

That's the one lol!

Inherit the wind

"Twelve Angry Men (Penguin Classics) Paperback
by Reginald Rose (Author), David Mamet (Introduction)

A blistering character study and an examination of the American melting pot and the judicial system that keeps it in check, Twelve Angry Men holds at its core a deeply patriotic faith in the U.S. legal system. The play centers on Juror Eight, who is at first the sole holdout in an 11-1 guilty vote.

Reginald Rose deliberately and carefully peels away the layers of artifice from the men and allows a fuller picture to form of them-and of America, at its best and worst.
After the critically acclaimed teleplay aired in 1954, this landmark American drama went on to become a cinematic masterpiece in 1957 starring Henry Fonda, for which Rose wrote the adaptation. More recently, Twelve Angry Men had a successful, and award-winning, run on Broadway."
Hanging to see a play but it's all going to depend on the actors! May have to grab the book so hope there's still a few differences.

I think all reactors have reacted to Psycho and the shawshank redemption. You might want to react to those if you haven’t already.
I thought you’d enjoy it! I guess most people do, but still. Seemed up your alley somehow.
I wish they were all this good!
The defendant is presumed innocent. The jury doesn't determine whether the defendant is guilty but, rather, whether the prosecution proved guilt. If the verdict is not guilty, the defendant is still innocent.
But like with O.J, he doesn't get declared 'innocent', just not guilty.
@@dunkyvslife7447 The US Constitution guarantees due process. Due process is premised upon PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE. The jury doesn't determine whether the defendant -- who is presumed INNOCENT -- is guilty or innocent; it determines whether the PROSECUTION PROVED guilt. If not, then the defendant is still, as all along, innocent.
For tears and tissues..try The Green Mile with Tom Hanks and then INTERSTELLAR..with Michael Caine..and an all star cast…finally for tears..Field of Dreams…with Keven Costner..
Seen those except for Field of Dreams because I've seen so many clips over the years and avoided because I'm not a baseball fan. Just watched Inside Out and got quite teary lol, should be out in next few days.
Lee J Cobb was mesmerising but the whole cast brilliant. hitchcock's spellbound with salvador Dali art work worth a watch if you Haven't seen
Spellbound huh? Another to add to the list lol, so many now!
'The Days of Wine and Roses'. Beautifully done film about alcoholism.... with that killer Henry Mancini title hit song
I think it might make cry in my cups!
. its SO good tho😊
Just about the whole cast were known actors with Henry Fonda the biggest star and father of Jane Fonda and Peter Fonda.
They were all great and easily distinguishable from each other, bloody loved it!
if you like a real good story. good directing and acting. Here's a couple.
The Man Who Would be KING. with Sean Connery, Micheal Caine and Christopher Plummer.
The Bridge over the River Kwai. with Willian Holden , Alec Guinness and Jack Hawkins.
Both films won 4 or more oscars
My dad loves 'The man who would be king' and my grandpa worked on the River Kwai, James Russell Savage, so I've seen the movie many times. There's a book with his photo in it too. He wrote a book himself called 'Guest of the Emperor', it's not a very fun read.
@@dunkyvslife7447 haha! thats wonderful news !
thanks
@@bugvswindshield 'Return from the River Kwai' is the one with his photo, just remembered.
Another great legal movie: THE VERDICT, also directed by Sidney Lumet.
Cheers! I've got enough for years to come now lol! But another from Syd is def awesome.
"Anymore like this?" So the "entire movie in one room" is a subgenre to itself but includes lots of sci-fi and horror films. If you want another black and white classic with similar tone but totally different premise - Mr Smith Goes to Washington.
I think I get that confused with Look whose comeing to dinner (neither of which I've seen. I even count Resevoir Dogs as it ALMOST does the same thing.
@@dunkyvslife7447 veeeery different. Look Who's Coming to Dinner is 1967 about a white woman who brings the black doctor she's dating home to meet her parents. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is 1939 about an idealistic politician.
@@cjpolett2055 Got it, will still have to see them both.
No there are No other movies like this!❤😮
Editing 'Network' at the mo and it's bloody great... just in a different way.
I will watch any reaction you do to any movie made before 1968.
1968 huh? Yeah, screw all that 'new' stuff lol! The next one is a Disney cartoon unfortunately.
RABBIT PROOF FENCE (2002). True story. I think you would really enjoy it.
I'm Aussie so saw that when it came out (longest fence in the world I'm pretty sure).
Cool Hand Luke.
Nice one! Another I've never seen and have always wanted to.
@@dunkyvslife7447 just remember. No man can eat 50 eggs.
@@Cracker_Barrel_Kidd_55 I've eaten WAY more than fifty (not in one sitting though) but you didn't specify.
@@dunkyvslife7447 lol. Another great one, but not as well known is the life and times of the judge Roy bean.
@@Cracker_Barrel_Kidd_55 The list is getting too long, remind me in about a year!
so which juror would you like to play?
As a first timer, probably whoever has the least amount of lines otherwise maybe the angry guy who says 'I'm gonna kill you' before realizing what he's said. That's a tough question though.
@@dunkyvslife7447 I like the old guy, or the little bespectacled guy
@@sdhartley74 I liked the little guy, he could maybe have had a few more lines.
"The Asphalt Jungle" (1950) - a seriously excellent crime caper
Great movie. Great reaction!
Thanks man.
they shrunk the set by 16% during the movie to help Aid the Hot Oppressive Emotion&Ego Filled Almost Claustrophobic Condition,,it'z Genius 🌎📽️🎶🎶🎶
someone else mentioned that, such a great psychological idea!
Just goes to show that you don't need gun fights, car chases or massive explosions to make an excellent classic movie. May I suggest you watch another old b/w sci-fi film called 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' ? - it's unusual
I heven't deen the original, unfortunately just the remake.
Enjoyed that 👍
Cheers mate!
Try watching Sweet Smell of Success from 1957
It's on the list (which is getting way too long lol). Going to have to switch to two movies per week methinks!
If you wipe the finger prints off the knife why go back for it?
Right?
Ironically it was not really 12 angry men, about 4 were angry and the rest were a mixed bag. Ha
Probably makes a better title than '8 reasonably calm men' lol.
Each juror did have an angry outburst at one time in the movie.
Watch
THE YEARLING
On the list, may be a while though lol.
The Boys [1962]
