Stuttering defense attorney John Gibbons is one of Austin Pendleton’s most indelible roles, and it’s contained in this classic courtroom comedy that won an Oscar for co-star Marisa Tomei. The movie focuses on two NY college boys who, while traveling through the Deep South, are falsely accused of murder. One of them summons a relative, an erratic Brooklynite who just passed the bar exam after six tries (Joe Pesci), to come to Alabama and defend them. With Fred Gwynne. DCP. 119 min.
