Well Done & Well Balanced . . . .

This movie was interesting and unpredictable. Walter Matthau is ordered by a federal judge to defend a German POW accused of killing the town's doctor. He doesn't want the job and has no defense to present. The townfolks react badly at times to him having the case, but fortunately the reaction is mild and the movie doesn't dwell on that, as a million other movies have done. There is no real threat to him or his daughter-in-law or granddaughter.

William Schallert, the town cop and a family friend, ends up helping Mr. Matthau look for evidence of what happened the night the doctor was killed. They find out something shocking. Just as it's revealed the judge has a shocking agenda. But is the prosecuting attorney in on it, too? A well-done film that balances the events of a murder trial with a family dealing with the war on a very personal level.
