The amazing David Mamet wrote this remarkable screenplay; directed by Sidney Lumet. The performances of the entire cast are nothing short of breathtaking.
One of the more powerful, poignant and moving films you'll ever see. If you've never viewed this work, you should do yourself a favor and do so. You'll walk away, stunned at the performances and the writing and the gift of Paul Newman. As a surgeon, I wish I could tell you that the events depicted herein couldn't happen. That would be a lie. I could regale you with hours of incompetence and subterfuge mirroring these events, occurrence after occurrence, a number of which resulted in the death of the patient (a number of whom were babies.) Very sad. Pax.
There will never be another Paul Newman. He should have won the Oscar for The Verdict
I agree. Especially for his quite unforgettable delivery of the dialogue for this scene.
And hosed for Cool Hand Luke.

Great speech.
Wow!
❤❤❤wonderful movie. Outstanding script, actors
every word of this is fact!
Bruce Willis is sitting behind Paul Newman's right shoulder in this scene. His first - ever on screen appearance.
Paul Newman had the bad luck of going against Ben Kingsley for Ghandi.
Dam, that's right. Oh well. A lot of good films in 1983, my Sr of HS
In case anyone is curious, you can see a young Bruce Willis in the background as an extra
Yep, there he is. Good eye!
wow ! Had to go watch it again to find him > Think safe to say I would never have noticed. Good catch @user
Never cared for Bruce Willis

Tobin Bell '' Jigsaw '' to Bruce's right too .
A very stark, moving ending
TRES Heavy Summation!!

Bruce Willis should have won an Oscar for this. He was good.
