	12 Angry Men - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		12 Angry Men is a Black-and-white film produced in 1957, and tells the story of twelve jurors bound by the acceptance of their civic duty and thrust together into a hot, humid room to determine the guilt or innocence of a boy accused of killing his father in a moment of rage.
		It begins with the use of cameras positioned above eye level and mounted with wide-angle lenses to give the appearance of greater depth between subjects; by the end of the film nearly everyone is shown in closeup using telephoto lenses from a lower angle, which decreases or "shortens" depth of field.
		The twelve men must determine, unanimously, whether the accused is innocent or guilty of the charge of murder.

	Twelve Angry Men - Becky Pearson
		The men probably would have felt more inhibited yelling in front of or at women, and the racial prejudices that were blatant in the film would have been directed at the minority jurors.
		Twelve Angry Men did portray effectively the difficulty of being on the minority side, and the importance of voicing that opinion in order for the jury system to work.
		Twelve Angry Men was the first film of its kind to show the jury system at work, and for that reason it is interesting to watch.

		An 18 year old Latino Male is accused of first-degree murder and its is up to a jury of twelve all-white males to decide the future of the accused.

		The simplistic setting of the room and the dialogue that begins to develop is a classic timeless tale for entertainment and education of what unfolds behind the closed doors of the jury room.

		The story's staying power stems from its infectious fascination with the sound of justice's grinding wheels and its wind-it-up-and-watch-it-go craftsmanship, both of which are well translated to the Merrimack stage.
		The play takes place late one hot summer afternoon in a New York City jury room where 12 men gather to reach a verdict in what seems like an open-and-shut murder case involving a ghetto kid who killed his father.
		However, when the jury is polled at the start, one man (Juror 8) votes "not guilty." To the chagrin of his peers, he is not so sure and wants to review the evidence.

	Nevada Events - Review
		First produced in 1954 for CBS Television's splendid "Studio One," playwright Reginald Rose's Emmy-winning "Twelve Angry Men" soon became a compelling 1957 film starring Henry Fonda and Lee J. Cobb, then a first-rate 1997 TV presentation starring George C. Scott and Jack Lemon.
		There are so many performances on the threshold of becoming something really fine that RLT's "Twelve Angry Men," if pared down from its high-decibel table thumping, could modulate into the powerful theater piece Rose came close to crafting.
		The exclusive jury-room aspect of "Twelve Angry Men" is terrifically difficult to stage without making it come off like a silly game of musical chairs.

	Steve Rhodes reviews Twelve Angry Men (Studio One)
		TWELVE ANGRY MEN must have been considered shocking at the time for its frankness of expression.
		The men form ever changing cliques as the "facts" of the case begin to dissolve in front of their eyes.
		The production is full of theatrics, like the men almost coming to blows, but it's all presented with such honesty that it's easy to forgive its shortcomings.

	DVD Verdict Review - Twelve Angry Men
		12 Angry Men is a flawless, brilliant, intense portrayal of our justice system at work, as relevant and intense today as it was during its 1957 release.
		The jurors are a disparate group of men from differing backgrounds and dispositions, but most have one thing in common.
		Twelve main characters is usually a recipe for cinematic suicide, but by the end of the film I felt I'd gotten to know each man. I simply cannot stress enough how well made this film is, or how powerfully it moved me.

	12 Angry Men (1957)
		12 Angry Men (1957) is the gripping, penetrating, and engrossing examination of a diverse group of twelve jurors (all male, mostly middle-aged, white, and generally of middle-class status) who are uncomfortably brought together to deliberate after hearing the 'facts' in a seemingly open-and-shut murder trial case.
		The compelling, provocative film examines the twelve men's deep-seated personal prejudices, perceptual biases and weaknesses, indifference, anger, personalities, unreliable judgments, cultural differences, ignorance and fears, that threaten to taint their decision-making abilities, cause them to ignore the real issues in the case, and potentially lead them to a miscarriage of justice.
		And it was improper for Juror # 8 to act as a defense attorney - to re-enact the old man's walk to the front door or to investigate on his own by purchasing a similar knife.

		Practically the entire film is set in the single jury room, on a hot and humid day, with these twelve incredibly diverse men, and shows how their backgrounds color how they arrive at their conclusions.
		The boy glances at the jurors as they leave the courtroom; and it's hard at that early point in the film to not feel some compassion and sympathy for this young man whose life is in the hands of the twelve men he just watched leave the room.
		Take twelve interesting, complex characters, employ twelve of the best character actors in town, and place them in a one-setting performance in which the film depends upon these twelve men for everything.

	Twelve Angry Men
		At first, some are angry about being locked into an airless room on the hottest day of the year.
		Several jurors vent prejudices, spewing their rage at the defendant's race or nationality, an identity that's never stated, but we note that the jurors are twelve white men; just one has a Central European accent, a watchmaker who might be a refugee from Hitler's or Stalin's ambitions.
		Last is a seething anger that some men carry within themselves over past hurts, revealed when the final holdout blurts out how the youthful defendant evokes painful memories of his own estranged son.

		Twelve Angry Men turned 50, en masse, Sept. 20, and the Roundabout Theatre Company marked the spot—albeit, belatedly on Oct. 28—with a double-barrel birthday bash: a live reenactment at American Airlines Theatre and a jubilant party wind-down at China Club.
		Their names, from one to twelve, are Mark Blum, Kevin Geer, Philip Bosco, James Rebhorn, Michael Mastro, Robert Clohessy, John Pankow, Boyd Gaines, Tom Aldredge, Peter Friedman, Larry Bryggman and Adam Trese.
		At 83, Ford is the sole survivor of that show—a prize bauble from television's golden age—and at the party he made a point of meeting his Roundabout counterpart, the 35-year-old Trese who, like West, is last in the alphabetical listing of the show's cast.

	Variety.com - Reviews - Twelve Angry Men
		Director Scott Ellis drives the ensemble of sterling theater actors like a demanding jockey astride a trusted steed, and if he tends to gallop unduly through some character-establishing dialogue, his intermissionless staging brings a rousing urgency to this bristling drama that helps to hide the work's liberal didacticism.
		While the latter version contemporized the action, allowing for an ethnically mixed jury, Rose's play was and is very much rooted in a 1950s setting, placing a dozen combustible white men of different temperaments and social extractions around a table in a closed room to thrash out a difficult decision.
		Opening with the judge's final instructions heard offstage before jury deliberations begin (the voice is Robert Prosky's), the play deals with a case that seems open-and-shut to 11 of the 12 men -- the fatal knifing, allegedly by a slum kid, of his father.
