Yep, watched this one, it was full of emotion and is testimony to snap decision making and how, when we consider the facts, minds are changed as well as lives, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

You're right about this film--a classic, indeed! Terrific cast. I don't remember, but I'm guessing this was a stage adaptation.
Best of luck at the booths.

Peace, Lee

Ah, you chose a favorite movie of mine for this 5-7-5 Movie Review poem contest entry. You managed to recap the plot with great description and good Author Notes. Room full of testosterone, indeed lol. Good luck in the contest.

Awesome! The second line sums up the atmosphere perfectly. A favourite movie of mine, and I was lucky enough to be cast in the play as the nasty dude. Your 5-7-5 inspired me to watch the movie again. Best for the prompt. DJ

Hello my friend,

Good job with the five seven five contest. I heard about the movie but I never saw it. I know it's a classic. Good job with the syllable count.

I think this is an interesting entry for the 5-7-5 Movie Review writing prompt.
This short verse tells of the movie, 12 Angry Men.
Well done and I wish you good luck with the contest.
Sharon

It's a powerful story. I love the line about testosterone! I'd love to see the Henry Fonda version - I saw a remake, I think. Great summary! Good luck with the contest.

    Thanks for your review. I didn't know there was a remake. Something tells me it's not a cut on the original.

    It was still powerful, but I would love to have seen Henry Fonda as the juror.

I never did see the movie. Though I think I might now. Juries were so different back then. Your poem has made me curious. Thanks for reintroducing me to an old classic.

TWELVE ANGRY MEN is one of my all-time favorite courtroom dramas. Your short poem succinctly tells us the plot. One small error. JURORS' minds changed.
