Apesar do foco excessivo nos dilogos ainda denunciar suas origens teatrais, o filme faz bom uso de flashbacks e conta com a interao perfeita entre Sellers e Attenborough. Go to Full Review

07/27/2016 Slightly surreal take on the barristers-defendent relationship, most of which is a fantasy rehearsal of a trial. The fact it has two fine actors in the leads gives it some presence, otherwise it would be lacking in interest value. See more 06/12/2005 The Big Lebowski, second viewing. So it wasn't the coolest movie since Repo Man that I remembered it to be, but still, pretty darn great. I've never really liked bowling, but bowling shoes however are great.

My local bowling alley has good shoes. Alltogether though, I think my shoe policy these days tends to be that plain simple black shoes are the best. I fear I'm growing to be too anti-sneaker. If I could only find a good and elegant pair of bowling shoes it would be sort of a compromise between style and leisure. Maybe. Or maybe not, I don't know. Trial and Error is a reasonably good little comedy with Peter Sellers and Richard Attenborough. Kinda british, but nevertheless sympathetic. I'm more into reading again. That's fun. I just finished The Fall by Albert Camus and now I'm starting on Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge by Karl Popper. Seems pretty interesting. Anyhow, goodnight, I guess.
