Movie review - "Inherit the Wind" by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee

 Depressingly still relevant - the story of the Scopes Monkey Trial with science struggling against lunatic religious beliefs. It's got two great star parts for older men, and an annoying Greek chorus of a cynical journo: this device was over used in the 1950s.  People who whinge the real case wasn't like this miss the point. Very entertaining. Ideal school play fodder. Solid construction complete with Brady collapsing and dying.
