    The original was so good that I decided to become a lawyer when I first watched it at age 7. I ended up practising criminal defence law from my residence! Just like Sir Wilfred. What an influence Charles Laughton had on me. Still a great story BUT please watch the original. Definitely my favourite movie ever!

    The original was much sharper but its wonderful to see Sir Ralph Richardson, Wendy Hiller, Deborah Kerr and the enigmatic Diana Rig. So sad to hear of her passing this week. This is a top notch example of her work. RIP to all the great actors of the theatre and silver screen that have sadly passed. Thankfully we can still enjoy their endeavors as they all live on in their work.

      The script was identical in both films, but the Laughton film was new: we saw the play unfold with new eyes. This remake plays the action again and so may seem not quite as fresh. But thanks to Agatha Christie’s story and superb acting by Richardson et al, the movie is really as fresh as the original. A wonderful film!

    The casting was perfect with Ralph Richardson playing Laughtons role, Diana Rigg made a great Marlene Dietrich and surprisingly Beau Bridges accomplished his Innocent act as effectively as Tyrone Power. The addition of Donald Pleasence as the prosecutor and Wendy Hiller as the maid was the icing on the cake. I know there's a brand new one out but I can't bring myself to watch it.

    From the first fifteen minutes of the start of this movie, I was already loving Sir Wilred's humour in this character. Marvellous script and movie.

    Great movie. I'd seen it before as a young girl. To see it here again brought back memories of watching it with my mom on German TV many many years ago though it was a different version of the movie which was made earlier in 1957 with Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Laughton.

    I was deceived by Vole's cry of grief and desperate performance. I was fascinated by the wonderful casting of "Witness for the Prosecution ". And I admire the ages and careers of Ralph Richardson (80), Wendy Hiller (70) and David Langton (70).

    Sir Ralph Richardson is such a consummate actor that anything he plays is outstanding. One of the greatest actors of the 20th century - along with Lawrence Olivier and John Guilgud. And Diane Ring was such a stunning woman. Wow. What a remake of a classic film. Not many re-makes approach the original but this one does a most credible job.
