Our Billy Wilder series rolls along with probably his most ingenious script yet, adapting a modern mystery masterpiece into a legal drama with outstanding jokes. Billy knew he was working with near-perfect source material from the master of mystery herself, Agatha Christie. He takes nothing away from her taut, captivating thriller and instead just punches in heavy doses of fun and wily legal craftsmanship from what had been a side character. And with perfect performances from Charles Laughton and Marlene Dietrich (who got robbed by the Academy), this movie is a must see for anyone who loves a courtroom drama. Grab your thermos of “cocoa” as we discuss 1957’s Witness for the Prosecution on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
