People Against O´Hara (1951)
James Curtayne (Spencer Tracy) was once a brilliant defense attorney, saving scores from prison time and death row. But that was before a part of him crawled inside a bottle and never crawled out. He now practices civil law. . .it's safer that way. But when John O'Hara (James Arness), a kid from the neighborhood, gets hauled up on Murder One, he allows himself to get cajoled into returning to his former vocation. It's a mistake. The DA runs circles around the alcohol-addled attorney, and O'Hara now faces execution. It's Jimmy's worst nightmare come true. The question is, what's he planning to do about it?
A young John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven) teams up with seasoned cinema vet Tracy for this noir-tinged legal drama, and it proves a potent combo - a solid, by-the-numbers thriller rises above the machinations of plot to provide a compelling portrait of a very good, but very weak, man in thrall to some very bad, very strong impulses.

Spencer Tracy, Diana Lynn, John Hodiak
