Listen to the last episode:
This Oscar-nominated 80s flick may sound like just another courtroom drama. Frank Galvin is a washed-up ambulance-chasing attorney battling his demons in Boston. When he takes on a seemingly straightforward medical malpractice case involving a comatose woman, Galvin discovers a labyrinth of corruption and deceit within the legal system. With the odds stacked against him and his own personal struggles looming large, Galvin embarks on a quest for redemption, determined to uncover the truth and deliver justice. As the trial unfolds, tensions rise, alliances are tested, and the line between right and wrong becomes increasingly blurred. Although it might have been one of those movies our dads watched on cable while we sat around, bored out of our minds, the film still holds up well even after forty years. So dust off your law books, grab your Polaroid camera, and meet us in the courtroom as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Laramy Wells from "Moving Panels" Podcast discuss “The Verdict” from 1982 on this special bonus episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast.
Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:
- At one point during production, Newman barely avoided serious injury when a light estimated to weigh several hundred pounds fell about three feet away from him after breaking through its supports. The wood planks were apparently weakened by overnight rain.
