One of the best courtroom movies ever made. James Stewart plays a Michigan lawyer drawn out of retirement to represent an Army Lieutenant charged with murder. The Lieutenant admits to the crime despite having no memory of committing it, and Stewart’s character is given the unenviable task of mounting an ‘irresistible impulse’ defense. – Film Noir Foundation
