truthisontic Review of Inherit the Wind

Inherit the Wind (1999 TV Movie)

A wonderful story, with a storied cast, that couldn't live up to it's predecessor

[6/10 · 27 August 2019]

I couldn't believe it when I saw the cast list. I'd seen the 1960 version and I counted myself lucky to watch another interpretation. Unfortunately, I saw the 1960 interpretation, and even through it's inaccuracies, and anachronisms, it taught lessons that lasted throughout my life. It really doesn't matter. The message is the same in both movies because Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan made it important.
