Anatomy of a Murder (1959)
From the striking Saul Bass artwork to Duke Ellington's score, one should expect that Anatomy of a Murder wouldn't be like the films that came before it. This film, which features a star-filled cast, bucks the studio system and films on location in Michigan, uses actors not contracted by the studio, and doesn't hold back with language and themes typically avoided thanks to the Hays Code. Dan and Jon not only sing its praises, but offer some ideas on how it could be brought back today.
