About this product

Product Information

The real conflict between science and religion flares into open war in this fictionalised account of the famous 1925 'Monkey Trial'. Schoolteacher John Scopes is placed under close arrest for advocating Darwin's theory of evolution to his pupils, in violation of a stifling Tennessee law banning anything that 'denies the divine creation of man as taught by the bible'. The case is taken up by a cynical newspaper-man who takes an interest when the champion of the Fundamentalists and three-time presidential candidate is named prosecutor. In retaliation the newspaper hires a self-styled agnostic, and one of the leading lawyers of the century, to defend Scopes.

Additional InformationIn the 1920s, a teacher is jailed for teaching evolution in the American South bringing two legal giants, one an athiest and one a creationist, to battle for more than the teacher's fate in a sweltering southern courtroom. This first rate drama was based on the real Scopes "Monkey Trial" in which Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryant were the attorneys, here played by Raymond Massey and Spencer Tracy.

  • An all star cast used to its best advantage: Spencer Tracey, Gene Kelly, Dick Yorke on a subject which still rages today.

    Brilliant film should be more readily available.

  • Thought provoking

    an engrossing take on America's Science vs Religion attitude to evolution. Something the fundamentalists still haven't grown out of.

    A good film, a little overacting which was not unusual in those days, but well worth watching.

  • A great movie exposing religious bigotry

    A classic film everyone should see. Especially relevant now as the Evangelicals are mounting an all-out attack on rational science in the USA. Very enjoyable to watch
