With Robarts choosing to represent him, the two find themselves up against Leonard’s cold-hearted wife, Christine – who, in a surprising turn of events, chooses to appear in court against her husband.

Another triumph for cinematic genius Billy Wilder!

Witness for the Prosecution , Billy Wilder is a director with an understanding of cinema that is almost unmatched throughout the medium’s entire history – that’s why his films are always so good. Witness for the Prosecution is yet another highlight in the great director’s history, and it proves that courtroom dramas can be both riveting and a great opportunity for some first rate comedy. Wilder’s film features one of the most well paced plots I’ve ever seen in a film, and it’s a plot that includes some very finely tuned twists. Towards the end, Wilder bombards us with twist after twist, each one both making sense and topping the one before it. In a time when people are impressed by films such as ‘The Sixth Sense’, Billy Wilder still shows us how to skilfully attribute a twist into a film’s plot. The plot itself follows the story of Sir Wilfrid Robarts; an ace defence lawyer that has been told that his health won’t allow him to tackle anything more than mundane cases, but is brought back into the fray when a case involving the murder of an elderly woman comes into his hands. Wilfrid must now juggle the case and his health as he attempts to keep the young man from being sent down. Like all Wilder films, this one is a very pleasurable viewing. Wilder manages to find a middle ground between substance and entertainment, and so this is a film that will please fans of both aspects. The film is deliriously entertaining throughout, with some truly great lines of dialogue (most of which is very quotable) and every twist adds a new level to the story. The substance comes from a multitude of angles, and themes of love, health, sacrifice and most notably, justice, are all more than prevalent. The acting is certainly of note in Witness for the Prosecution. Charles Laughton is absolutely sublime as the undermining and stubborn Wilfrid Robarts; his performance is very strong, and makes up the backbone of the film. The main supporting performance comes from Marlene Dietrich. I’m not a big fan of hers; despite having a great pair of legs, she just doesn’t do anything for me, but in this film she brings sufficient coldness to her character and really makes it her own. The final main performance comes from Tyrone Power; he isn’t as great as the other two, but does enough with his character to ensure he’s believable. Highly recommended viewing!

After waiting 14 days I decided to enquire by email when my DVD would arrive

After waiting 14 days I decided to enquire by email when my DVD would arrive. I received an email back stating I had purchased it via download and had been sent an and had been sent a link, so I checked my emails lo and behold there was one there with a link in it but the link didn’t work, even though the invoice states when I made payment and ordered the movie it was fora DVD. So here we are still waiting for my DVD. I have received no communication back since the inquiry other than I made the mistake. Then I received an email to give a review while I can tell you what it’s not Sterling. I do not recommend buying any movie from this online store.

A good DVD, but the episodes were misnumbered and out of order. Not a problem once the viewer realises and watches episodes in correct order.
