The Verdict (1982)
Another Thumbs up for NEWMAN !
26 December 2013
Another outstanding performance from NEWMAN playing the desperate ambulance chasing lawyer(FRANK GALVIN).His changing ethics from being at a funeral of a person he never knew just to get his business card in the hands of the widow;to the change of heart of getting some fast insurance money after seeing a helpless woman in an irreversible coma shows that he still possessed some empathy despite his desperation for some needed Money.

Good overall performances from supporting cast members.This film ranks as a favorite but I still can't rank it with "HUD" and "HOMBRE". It's kind of a toss up between this film and "HARRY AND SON" as my favorite of the two.As always NEWMAN's superb acting skills make you believe he is really the character he is portraying.One of a handful of A Group actors that can play Diverse roles without being stereotyped as one personality.

Makes you believe that not all Lawyers are out there just for the Buck.Maybe if there were a few Frank Galvins out there in the real Judical World,Lawyers might have a better reputation among Most Americans.Excellent Film!...s.m.
