Lee&#8217;s 1955 Broadway play<\/a>, based on the infamous <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Scopes_Trial\">Scopes Monkey Trial<\/a>. Details and names have been changed &#8212; see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filmsite.org\/inhe.html\">Tim Dirk&#8217;s FilmSite review<\/a> for an extensive analysis &#8212; but the essence of the storyline has been retained, while focusing primarily on the drama of two powerful men butting heads on stage (literally so, <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Inherit-the-Wind-Poster.png\">as shown in this poster<\/a>). The theme of highly religious citizens defying the incorporation of science and reason into their lives is (sadly) as relevant as ever (it&#8217;s odd how pertinent this tale remains nearly 100 years later), as is the notion of the media seizing on a high-emotion battle between two opposing personalities (presidential elections, anyone?). Unfortunately, the fictional inclusion of a conflicted fiancee for York adds unnecessary drama to what was already a powerful enough courtroom tale, and Kelly seems miscast (one expects him to break into song and dance at any moment) &#8212; but the film remains worth a one-time look for the noteworthy lead performances and the intrinsic drama of science &#8220;versus&#8221; faith.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Kramer made a number of &#8220;message pictures&#8221; right around this time &#8212; including <em>The Defiant Ones<\/em> (1958), <em>On the Beach<\/em> (1959), <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=20101\"><em>Judgment at Nuremberg<\/em> (1961)<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=30320\"><em>Guess Who&#8217;s Coming to Dinner<\/em> (1968)<\/a> &#8212;
