The Verdict (AFI #75 100 Years... 100 Cheers)
THE VERDICT is that Robert Redford could never be Paul Newman.
David Mamet sure knows how to write an ending...
... even if they don't really use it. But, BUT... there is one of the greatest final speeches in the history of film and that is why one host picked this as his first selection in the Sight & Sound Was Wrong draft.
Even though he didn't know it yet.
For he hadn't seen the movie.
And his co-host had.
But he didn't trust him,
Naturally.
Put your trust in Paul Newman's greatest performance as he boozes, has one-sided fisticuffs with Charlotte Rampling and impresses a young Bruce Willis in THE VERDICT!
