Director: Stanley KramerWriter: Nedrick Young, Harold Jacob SmithStars: Spencer Tracy, Fredric March, Gene KellySummary: Teacher B.T. Cates is arrested for teaching Darwin's theories. Famous lawyer Henry Drummond defends him; fundamentalist politician Matthew Brady prosecutes. This is a very thinly disguised rendition of the 1925 "Scopes monkey trial" with debates between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan taken largely from the transcripts.
