I read the book "Clarence Darrow: Attorney for the Damned" written by John A. Farrell, so I was somewhat excited to see a movie was made about him. Clarence Darrow was born in 1857 and was in his prime before the turn of the century. He would defend all types of unpopular characters including murderers, African-Americans, unions, and even evolution. He would also defend people because they had the means to pay him handsomely. He loved women and talking.
Of course, a movie is not going to be able to capture as much as a book (especially the 400 pager I read), yet I think the movie "Darrow" did a fair job.
