Trivia Final American film made by Fritz Lang before returning to Germany. It was a box-office failure. See more »
Goofs WHile the trial is shown on TV there is a frontal shot of Tom sitting at the defendants desk. This would not be possible as the television camera was stationed behind and to the side of the desk. It's not feasible that the large 1950's era television camera would have been moved to the front of the courtroom for the shot. See more »
