A brilliant and riveting courtroom drama that fictionalizes America’s infamous “Scopes Monkey Trial” to shine a stark light on ideological frictions in American discourse and culture, director Stanley Kramer’s INHERIT THE WIND (1960) features an iconic starring performance from the legendary Spencer Tracy – named by the American Film Institute among the greatest screen legends of all time – as well as an outstanding against-type supporting performance from AFI Life Achievement Award honoree Gene Kelly.
