VHS Movie Reviews of Inherit the Wind (1999) [VHS]
Movie Review: Disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
Anyone who has never seen the Spencer Tracy/Fredric March version of this classic play (based on the famous Scopes Monkey Trial) will probably enjoy this version, but despite the facts that I was eagerly awaiting this release and that Jack Lemmon and George C. Scott are/were two of my all-time favorite actors, I was disappointed. The performances lacked the passion and just flat did not measure up to the original ones, with one exception--Lane Smith (the prosecutor from My Cousin Vinny) was his usual marvelous supporting self in the role of the minister. Still, it's not the worst movie you can rent; the play is so good it would probably be impossible to make a bad movie out of it and with the recent resurgence of the Evolution vs. Creationism debate, it is certainly topical. Also, if you want to see Jack Lemmon in a remake of a film classic that's excellent, try 12 Angry Men.
