Anatomy of a Murder, one of my favourite films, is on at the NFT. I'm going, for sure. I really recommend you go too. Ever been to the NFT? It sure is po-faced. If you haven't, but have always meant to, then this could be your excuse to give it a try.
I won't bother selling the film to you, it's easy enough to find stuff out about it if you're interested. A brief summary though: it's too long, and the end is far too abrupt. It's a big shaggy imperfect film: brilliant. James Stewart confirms his place alongside Cary Grant as one of the finest actors in cinema history (*and* he plays piano with Duke Ellington), and George C. Scott is coruscating as the prosecuter dropped in from the city.
