Shameful, isn't it? Thanks for the rec.

Saw "Twelve Angry Men" for the tenth-plus time on TMC cable Thursday night ("Swept Away..." was on Bravo at the same time). Based on my two jury experiences, the story isn't very realistic in terms of the depth of effort that the jurors use to go over the evidence. However, the acting in this film is MONUMENTAL! I think David Mamet must go green with envy watching this one. Somehow, all those great actors didn't overshadow each other. Thought I read that someone is working on a new version, but can't imagine finding more than three or four current male actors to fill that jury. They'll have to either stick with the '50's period, or change it to "Twelve Angry People" to mix women in the jury for more contemporary realism.
