Summary:
"Mastered in HD - Acting legends Spencer Tracy (Judgment at Nuremberg) and Fredric March (The Iceman Cometh) go toe-to-toe in this thrilling recreation of the most titanic courtroom battle of the century. The great Stanly Kramer (On the Beach) directs this masterpiece featuring Gene Kelly (On the Town) in a rare, critically acclaimed dramatic role. Inherit the Wind is powerful, provocative cinema with a heaping measure of entertainment. The controvercial subject of evolution versus creation causes two polar opposites to engage in one explosive battle of beliefs.

The stellar supporting cast includes Dick York, Donna Anderson, Harry Morgan, Claude Akins, Norman Fell and Noah Beery Jr." -- From case.
