Teacher B.T. Cates is arrested for teaching Darwin's theories. Famous lawyer Henry Drummond defends him; fundamentalist politician Matthew Brady prosecutes. This is a very thinly disguised rendition of the 1925 "Scopes monkey trial" with debates between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan taken largely from the transcripts.

  • Haha what are they singing when brady arrives in town?

  • I'm doing this play for school :D

  • back then they don't even dare to portray it as atheism vs theism view.

    it's the clash of different theological view...

  • poor religious dick suckers.... they don't understand science... oh well.... not easy having an IQ of 2 (the same number of inches as their dicks)

  • You know what's funny?

    Me and my Biology teacher were talking about this and the outcome of this trial actually inspired more people to try to ban Evolution in the classroom.

  • If you look carefully, there is a microphone. His voice is recorded and amplified.

  • @Eye2EyeIIIV The movie is a Hollywood Interpretation of the Trial & is not completely accurate.

    Creationism is Fiction !

  • I love this movie!!!

  • @advantagesmith I hear you, and I do think Tracey was also quite good in this part. I just don't like March's exclusion and the impression I get that Tracey was one of Holywood's pets. Evidence two years before, his nom for the drek Old Man and the Sea and of course in '67. Plus that in one of his winners Capt C., even co-star Freddie Bartholomew's perf was more Oscar worthy than was his. More often than not, Tracey is just the same old Tracey.

  • @spagandtuna As much as I love Fredric March (he's one of my favorite actors), it should be noted that the Academy had also given him two Oscars at this point, as well, for "Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde" and "The Best Years of Our Lives." Both men were wonderful in the film, but Tracey does manage to look effortless. He really embodies the character, making it appear that he's doing very little when he's actually doing quite a lot.
