Black & White; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; Sensor Matic A handsome, young lawyer falls in love with his beautiful client--a woman accused of murdering her blind husband. Although he's convinced of her innocence, love may be clouding the barrister's judgment. The unsavory truth of the case is revealed during the course of a highly dramatic trial. Considering Alfred Hitchcock's lifelong fascination with murder and suspense, it is remarkable that THE PARADINE CASE stands as a rare Hitchcock courtroom drama. A beautiful woman (Maddalena Anna Paradine, played by the enchanting Alida Valli) stands accused of murdering her wealthy, blind husband. She enlists the aid of renowned lawyer Anthony Keane (Gregory Peck). As they prepare her defense, the chemistry between the two begins to heat up. And as his emotions for Mrs. Paradine grow stronger, Keane grows more convinced of her innocence. The case will be a difficult one, however, as the judge (Charles Laughton) is no friend of Keane's; the queen's prosecutor, played by the excellent Leo G. Carroll, is a serious foe; and only an inspired defense will have any chance of clearing Mrs. Paradine. Hitchock cameo: Hitchcock appears as a man with a cigar toting a cello.
This was Hitchcock's last film for David O. Selznick.
Hitchcock originally wanted Laurence Olivier to play the British lawyer instead of Gregory Peck.
Production of the PARADINE CASE ran an extraordinary $3 million in 1947 and is evidenced in the detailed re-creation of the Old Bailey courtroom, which is the site of some of the film's most carefully orchestrated sequences, created by filming with four cameras simultaneously.

$14.45 
Plagued by ill health and hampered by the obtuse decisions of dull-witted studio chiefs, John Ford had reached a point in his life not unlike that of the tribe he depicts in CHEYENNE AUTUMN, his final Western. A large majority of the remaining 1000 members of the Cheyenne tribe forced onto an Oklahoma reservation in the 1870s have been killed by disease and starvation while waiting a year for promised government aid. Driven by the need to survive, the last 250-odd Indians begin an arduous 1,500 mile trek to their ancestral lands in Wyoming, accompanied by Quaker schoolteacher Deborah Wright (Carroll Baker). The army dispatches Capt. Thomas Archer (Richard Widmark), Deborah's fiancé, to pursue the Cheyenne, a task for which he has little liking. En route, the hot-blooded Red Shirt (Sal Mineo) battles with army troops, and the incidents are exaggerated by the press, which calls for a vigorous response to the "marauding savages." As the journey continues, the stoic Cheyenne must endure the rank stupidity and malign indifference of their Caucasian usurpers. The star-studded cast, including James ...

Paradine Case review
$17.49
Before the term "ambient" came to be applied to everything from the eerie soundscapes of the Aphex Twin to such hybrids as ambient-techno and "illbient," there was Brian Eno's MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS. A definitive precursor of later ambient music, this four-part instrumental piece is devoid of all but the most basic aspects of song and, therefore, challenges listeners to re-imagine what music might be. As easy to listen to as ...
