A very good b&w drama. Relevant to 2022 issues.

Based on the infamous 1925 Scopes Trial in Dayton, Tennessee, Inherit the Wind includes most of the trial's memorable courtroom drama, in many cases verbatim. Watching these parents being manipulated by fundamentalist politicians like…

Early in the 20th century advances in the material sciences bred a hubristic sense of superiority in some individuals--history would prove the opinions of ‘American Nietzsche’ H. L. Mencken mostly wrong; Nietzsche’s doctrine that the…

Want to see the re-make sequel "inherit the Gene", we are all mutants. Good film time for a more modern version.

Incredible film. Powerful. Stellar Performances. A reminder that if your hands are tied, keep at the truth.

Another excellent experience provided by @VPL which I’ve not seen before (or it’s been so long I’ve forgotten it). Fantastic acting and production, with an all too relevant message that freedom to think is sacrosanct & must be respected. …

One of the many pertinent questions that was brought to the table (or, should I say "courtroom") in 1960s "Inherit The Wind" was - "Can an atheist believe in god?" Well - For you to find out what is concluded about an atheist embracing…

Meet an atheist who believes in God. Considering this film's subject matter (Evolution Vs. Heavenly Creation) and the year in which it was released (1960) - I certainly can't imagine that "Inherit The Wind" was a big "box office…

This movie is based upon the true event of the Southern trial of a high school teacher that dared to discuss evolution in the classroom. The main stars are Spencer Tracy and Frederich March who play the two major lawyers of the USA. Of…

BETWEEN THIS movie and "Elmer Gantry," you can find out all you need to know about organized religion. The lead roles are actor's dreams. High school actors used to do the climactic courtroom scene in competitions. Try that now and see how…

Wonderful film. Spencer Tracy and Gene Kelly give naturalistic performances. Fredric March uses a stylized approach to depict the grandiose personality of his character.

VERY GOOD 1960 film version of Scopes Monkey Trial - interesting peek into small town culture, science, religion and more. Spencer Tracy does a fine job, and I was VERY impressed with Fredric March's performance (and all those facial…

I would like to cancel the hold for “Inherit the Wind” at Dundas Library.since I no longer need it I thought I had already done so, so please do not fine me. The online system apparently doesnt allow me to do this. I am a senior and it…

I liked this 1960 court room legal drama. It was well acted. It is good for all ages. The story is strong. It was a good script. It had great actors/actresses.

Watch Hollywood giants Spencer Tracy and Fredric March butt heads in this fictionalized version of the Scopes Monkey Trial. Classic film at its best. The ending is thought provoking that makes you challenge what you think you know.

Based on Tennessee’s infamous “Scopes Monkey Trial” of 1925, Stanley Kramer’s two-hour sermon on individualism and freedom of thought packs a handful of Hollywood heavyweights into a cramped and sweltering courtroom for a monumental…

Spencer Tracy and Frederich March are at the top of their games in this fictionalized version of the Scopes Monkey trial. Dick York, of Bewitched fame, ablely plays Scopes and Gene Kelly is very effective as the dislikable (for no…

Good acting, and an important event. Nice examination of many issues.

I wish I could add the missing star under the KCLS web listing for "Inherit the Wind". My only contribution to the star is to give my Five Star recommendation. Spencer Tracy and Frederic March are at the top of their game as opposing…

Very good movie. A little different from the play but still a great film.

A fantastic film that examines the right to free thought. (Oddly enough they are still fighting the same battle in America sixty years later)
