The Lawyer

For whatever reason, Harvard law grad Tony Petrocelli (Barry Newman) opted to open a criminal defense practice in a small Arizona cattle town. He'd need all his wiles as he agreed to represent an arrogant, wealthy doctor (Robert Colbert) facing slam-dunk charges of having killed his betraying socialite spouse (Mary Charlotte Wilcox). Effective courtroom saga that would spin off a cult favorite TV series also stars Diana Muldaur, Harold Gould, Kathleen Crowley, Booth Colman. 120 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
