See more Grant H May 16 Especially in 2025, when the right to think critically is under challenge in the USA, this film resonates with righteous indignation. The questions it asks are as relevant now as they were in 1961. Tracy and March are excellent, and supported by an equally impressive cast. One of the greats!

The movie is also sharp, insightful, intense, and fair minded, by showing the hypocrisy on both sides of the issue. All of this anchored by powerhouse performances by Tracy and March. And it was nice to see the famous BACK TO THE FUTURE clocktower square See more 07/28/2022 What a great movie. As an atheist, I can't believe I've never heard of this movie till now. It's sad that almost 100 years later and people still don't accept evolution. See more dave s 11/16/2021 At a time when blind faith, willful ignorance and superstition continue to try to trump science and logic, Stanley Kramer's Inherit the Wind proves to be as timely today as it was when originally released over sixty years ago. Inspired by the Scopes Monkey Trial, the film tells the story of a grade school teacher charged for violating state law when he introduces his class to evolution. The film wastes no time getting to the meat of the matter and remains a compelling courtroom drama. While Gene Kelly's portrayal of a smug news reporter seems unnecessary and distracting, the rest of the cast is spot on, most notably Spencer Tracy in what could be his most compelling performance as the defense attorney.
