Twelve Angry Men is and always will be one of my favorite movies. The recent remakes have not come even close to emulating the original.The message of the movie is that what we see and perceive upon our first glance may or may not be the truth. Our first impressions and/or long held beliefs may be totally incorrect. Then again, they may be spot-on. In any case, a thinking person will be careful to question and explore what lies beneath the surface.
Jack Klugman, AKA Juror Number 5, passed away a few days ago. He was one of my favorites, entertaining me through the years with The Odd Couple and Quincy. He was one-of-a-kind, wouldn't you agree?
And just like Twelve Angry Men (1957), there is no one who can equal the original.
RIP Jack Klugman, the last of the Angry Men.
