What a brilliant scene, perfectly acted. His vulnerability and her toughness are both palpable - you empathize and relate to both people. And "Maybe I'll tell you that later" portends things to come in a way the viewer would never expect after this scene.
That's it going to watch this movie for the hundredth time tonight and while I'm watching it I'm going to eat a salad with Newman's own salad dressing brilliant actor killer salad dressing now I just have to decide which flavor I want
Best actor nomination that year was heavy with top actors. Dustin Hoffman for Tootsie, Jack Lemmon for Missing, Newman for The Verdict and Peter O’Toole for My Favorite Year and the winner is Ben Kingsley got Ghandi. My personal favorite was Jack Lemmon.
I don't understand her character. Yes I understand that she is willing to stoop to deviousness to get her life back on track but what kind of a monster would knowingly push a man over the cliff and then sincerly yell at him for being so clumsy.
@@jdemarco at this point SHE WAS HIS WOMAN!! GREAT ADVICE AND DELIVERY. HE WENT INTO THE BATHROOM WITH A "PANIC ATTACK"!! NEWMAN WON THE OSCAR in our HEARTS!!
There's something unclear about this whole thing. She's a mole, planted by the opposition. That being the case, she's obviously playing a role here. But she's hammering him so hard that it feels sincere, that she really wants to help him. It's a well acted movie but something doesn't add up. Newman's character is thinking more of himself than of his clients, who are suffering and need the money. He goes behind their back and places his own interest before theirs.
There's more to it than that. She's falling in love with him, and now genuinely wants him to succeed. That clearly wasn't the case weeks earlier when she "met" him. For Frank, it's about himself AND about justice. He's gaining his redemption by doing what is right and just. In both cases, the characters were transferring from financial survival to righteousness.
This is a masterpiece of a movie
What a scene. Rampling a stunner
Brilliant film & Newman deserved the Oscar.
He did. (and Gandhi would get to keep the other 7 Oscars)
Na I disagree Ben Kingsley as Gandhi was way better
Great actors. RIP Paul
R.I.P James Mason(Ed Conanan), Jack Warden(Mickey Morrisy), Edward Binnes(The Bishop), Milo O'Shea(The Judge)
What a tremendous actor. His humanity was waht made him so good.
An all time fav. You get so wrapped up in the story, just superb!
Thanks for the memories. RIP
And the oscar went to Ben Kingsley for "Gandi" dadnabbitt!!!!Best actor that ever played a drunk !!great post

love this film
When Frank runs into the bathroom that’s me every morning only I don’t come out
Charlotte Rampling honestly would make such a great James Bond villain. If she had done it in her prime time in the 1970s or the 1980s.
She is very understated in her manner,voice. Attractive but not Hollywood beautiful. Very photogenic

I've been where Frank is, in this scene ...only God's grace 🙏 made impossible, possible ...but, you don't believe that, but it's true
Love this movie. Boston in the early 80's.
the transition....she begins to fall for him - he begins to put his demons behind him to win the case
Don’t run when you start losing and don’t whine when it starts hurting...
Later on he straight punched her. They wouldn't let him do that these days but BOY did she have it coming!
It was more of a slap than a punch, but yes, she deserved it.
She's absolutely right ....... Self pity not the way to go...

They were all sensationally good films - nightmare to decide between them.
Wow. That was brutal
It's amazing; the speech she gives here followed by what's revealed later in the film.
Max and Stacey? - Thank you❤️❤️👍👍

A truly evil one
Don't judge a book by its cover
I wasn't seeking sympathy from you. I was seeking it from the Bene Gesserit.
I can't invest in failure Frank, anymore...
I can so relate to what this guy is feeling...and my name isn't even Frank.

Good for Paul ñewman no good for James mason

Almost like she's speaking of her own failure and projecting on him. We don't know why she had to strike a deal to be a mole

She's a real 'snake'. She tells him to grow up, and yet she's also stabbing him in the back.
That was what was so fascinating about her character. The same person who just kicked his ass out of sympathy mode is simultaneously undermining him.
I don't like her character 😒 😐
That's why he slapped the shit out of her she was trying to throw em over edge.
You aren't meant to.
