Anatomija umora

Slovenski opis filma:

Odvetnik Paul Biegler pod okriljem svojega mentorja Parnella McCarthyja, ki je alkoholik, na sodišču zastopa vojaškega častnika Fredericka Maniona. Ta je priznal, da je ubil domnevnega posiljevalca svoje žene Laure, zato ima Biegler zelo malo možnosti, da Maniona opera krivde. Poleg tega mu pogum jemlje tudi dejstvo, da na nasprotni strani sedi cenjeni tožilec Claude Dancer. Toda Biegler namerava ob pomoči svojega mentorja in bistroumne tajnice poroto prepričati, da je bil storjen umor popolnoma upravičen.

Originalni opis filma:

Frederick Manion (Ben Gazzara), a lieutenant in the army, is arrested for the murder of a bartender, Barney Quill. He claims, in his defense, that the victim had raped and beaten up his wife Laura (Lee Remick). Although Laura supports her husband's story, the police surgeon can find no evidence that she has been raped. Manion is defended by Paul Biegler (James Stewart), a rather humble small-town lawyer. During the course of interviews, Biegler discovers that Manion is violently possessive and jealous, and also that his wife has a reputation for giving her favors to other men. Biegler realizes that the prosecution will try to make the court believe that Laura was the lover of the bartender and than Manion killed him and beat her up when he discovered them together. Manion pleads "not guilty" and Biegler, who knows that his case is weak, sets his assistants to try to find a witness who will save Manion.
