Screen legends Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, and Charles Laughton star in this brilliantly twisty courtroom thriller, based on the hit play by Agatha Christie (who praised it as the best adaptation of her work she had seen), and directed by Billy Wilder. When a wealthy widow is found murdered, her married suitor, Leonard Vole (Power), is accused of the crime. Vole’s only hope for acquittal is the testimony of his wife (Dietrich)… but his airtight alibi shatters when she reveals some shocking secrets of her own, leading the soon-to-retire senior barrister in charge of the case (Laughton) to deliver a verdict no one could see coming! Nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Laughton) and Best Supporting Actress (Elsa Lanchester), Witness for the Prosecution, with its shocking surprises, thrilled critics and audience alike, who were urged by the producers: “You’ll talk about it … but please don’t tell the ending!” (Dir. by Billy Wilder, 1957, USA, 116 mins., Not Rated)
