12 Angry Men a drama film directed by Sidney Lumet. It was released in UK in 1957 and it was based on 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose. It is about a jury member who must try to persuade the other 11 members to acquit the suspect on trial on the basis of reasonable doubt. The film is notable for its use of a single set: with the exception of three minutes of screen-time split between the beginning and the end and two short scenes in an adjoining washroom, the entire movie takes place in the jury room.
The cast includes Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, Ed Begley, John Fiedler, E.G. Marshall, Jack Warden, Ed Binns, Martin Balsam, Jack Klugman, George Voskovec, Robert Webber, and Joseph Sweeney.
Production:
Reginald Rose's screenplay for 12 Angry Men was initially produced for television, and was broadcast on the CBS program Studio One in 1954. A complete kinescope of that performance, which had been missing for years and feared lost, was finally discovered in 2003.
At the beginning of the film, the cameras are positioned above eye level and mounted with wide-angle lenses to give the appearance of greater depth between subjects, but as the film progresses the focal length of the lenses is gradually increased. By the end of the film, nearly everyone is shown in close-up using telephoto lenses from a lower angle, which decreases or shortens depth of field.
Responses
Critical responses:
On its first release, 12 Angry Men received critical commendation. A. H. Weiler of The New York Times wrote "It makes for taut, absorbing, and compelling drama that reaches far beyond the close confines of its jury room setting." It was not a popular success: the advent of color and widescreen productions resulted in the film receiving a disappointing box office performance.
Today, the film is viewed as a classic and is highly regarded from both a critical and popular viewpoint: Roger Ebert lists it as one of his Great Movies, and it has been consistently ranked in the top 14 of the Internet Movie Database Top 250 List. It also has a 97% rating on both critics and users polls at the site Rotten Tomatoes. The American Film Institute named 12 Angry Men the 42nd most inspiring film, and recently, named it the 87th best film of the past hundred years.
Awards:
The film was nominated for Academy Awards in the categories of Best Director, Best Picture and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium. In all of these categories, the film was eclipsed by The Bridge on the River Kwai, which won seven Academy Awards that year. At the Berlin International Film Festival, the film won the Golden Bear Award.
