"This slightly shortened version was videotaped for television and earned the actor an Emmy nomination," he said. "Essentially a tour-de-force, one-man performance, Clarence Darrow allowed the actor to find common ground with the attorney in their shared liberal philosophies and their identification with and support of the common man."
The program is in color and runs for 81 minutes. Swiszcz will provide commentary before screening the free film.
