as insomnia gripped me one night in the early hours, I switched on my tv and found this film. When it finished I was no longer worried about being tired for work in the morning. I was, in fact, truly grateful to have seen a film that displayed such tension, as one man (Fonda)held his nerve and made himself and his different opinions heard despite intense pressure from his so called peers. Here is an example of how film needs only sound dialogue and solid acting to produce a story worth telling and a lesson in not making assumptions - worth learning. for me a gripping story worth checking out
