"This film is a wonderful character study as well as a suspenseful courtroom drama. Paul Newman plays a young lawyer who faces ethical and emotional dilemmas as he climbs the social ladder in Philadelphia. Robert Vaughan received an Oscar nomination for his role as a drunk, wealthy friend. His performance is so compelling that there are moments when it's uncomfortable to watch him."
