Based loosely on a real-life case, this classic drama stars Barry Newman as unconventional attorney Tony Petrocelli, who stakes his reputation on his controversial defense of Dr. Jack Harrison (Robert Colbert) after the physician is accused of murdering his wife. Petrocelli has his work cut out for him as he goes up against a ruthless district attorney (Harold Gould). The movie spawned a TV series, "Petrocelli," which also starred Barry Newman.
