Quotes 

• Mr. Franklin : Mr. Tate, let me put this as candidly as possible. Now, your wife, as we know, has the motive. The murder weapons were found in her room, with her fingerprints all over them, and she had no alibi for that night. Plus which, the judge, as you can see from the astronomical bail that he has set, hates rich people.

  Chester Tate : So, what you're saying is it'll be a difficult case?

  Mr. Franklin : Mr. Tate... Clarence Darrow in his prime, arguing this case against a mute prosecutor with a jury of Mrs. Tate's relatives, with you sitting as the judge, could not possibly hope to win!

• Chester Tate : Jessica, you won't hang.

  Jessica Tate : Well, if I do, and they do make a movie of it, Chester, promise me that you will try to retain some control because I have a feeling, I mean an awful feeling, they're thinking of having Shelley Winters play me!
