Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

Fritz Lang's last American film was this gripping film noir about a novelist (Dana Andrews) who stands trial for a murder he didn't commit in an effort to demonstrate how purely circumstantial evidence can lead to the death penalty. When the only man (Sidney Blackmer) who can prove his innocence suddenly dies before the truth can be revealed, Andrews finds himself facing execution. With Joan Fontaine, Arthur Franz. 80 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
