"Inherit the Wind" is a well acted and well staged period piece of the strength and story consciousness it is hard to find today. It has a truly amazing standard of writing which is of such a consistent high calibre it is difficult to imagine just how it could be possible to make a weak film out of it. Kirk Douglas and Jason Robards have an incredible amount of thought provoking material to work with and Robards is at his unassuming best throughout from his reminiscing about a rocking horse from his childhood called "Golden Dancer" to his increasingly explosive and impeccably paced questioning of Douglas based upon some random excerpts selected from the Holy Bible which eventually reveals Brady's unshatterable faith to still be intact, but his reasoning in such matters to be flawed and often floundering.
