"Inherit The Wind" never gets old!

It's on one of my extra Showtime channels. Perfect for these times.

3. Love Clarence Darrow

I've read several of his essays. A true renaissance man.

You're right. It's a great movie and very relevant to what we are going through right now.

Kinda interesting don't you think??

6. I remember that we read it out loud in HS English class ...

For some reason, the teacher cast me as one of the fundamentalists (not the girl in class who WAS an outspoken Christian conservative). Funny that I went on to get a postgraduate degree in science, and now teach evolutionary theory ...

7. Was It The Original, With Spencer Tracy ???

God I love that film.

They should show it non-stop, every fall, of every election year.

8. Awesome movie!

Would Hollywood dare to make another like today or would the Director be vilified like Michael Moore?

9. My Favorite Line re: Curse Words

"there are too few words in the English vocabulary that everyone understands"

or something like that.

10. I have pic of my Grandfather and Clarence Darrow, at Leopold & Loeb trial

It really cool. My grandfather was a policeman investigating the Bobby Franks kidnapping and murder, and was at the trial. The pic was taken at the time of the sentencing and you see Darrow sitting in front of L&L, and a few rows away is my grandfather standing there, in his Chicago Policeman's uniform.

I'll post it some time.
