The Verdict is a 1982 courtroom drama film which tells the story of a down-on-his-luck alcoholic lawyer who pushes a medical malpractice case in order to improve his own situation, but discovers along the way that he is doing the right thing. Since the lawsuit involves a woman in a persistent vegetative state, the movie is cast in the shadow of the Karen Ann Quinlan case. The movie stars Paul Newman, Charlotte Rampling, Jack Warden, James Mason, Milo O'Shea, and Lindsay Crouse.
We like Charlotte Rampling.

I've been unable for years to decide between this film, Hud and Hombre as to which is my favourite of the late Mr. Newman's performances, but I'm damn sure he was worthy of an Oscar for at least one of them. The Colo{u}r of Money wasn't the greatest by a long chalk but the three I referred to were majestic.
