Inherit Wind

Teacher B.T. Cates is arrested for teaching Darwin's theories. Famous lawyer Henry Drummond defends him; fundamentalist politician Matthew Brady prosecutes. This is a very thinly disguised rendition of the 1925 "Scopes monkey trial" with debates between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan taken largely from the transcripts. ??Ed Stephan Awards: 3 wins & 11 nominations totalBudget: $2,000,000 (estimated)Soundtrack: (Gimme Dat) Old Time Religion ((uncredited))Stanley KramerSpencer Tracy, Fredric March, Gene Kelly1960-08-30 (United States)tt0053946
