CLIP DESCRIPTION:
In the privacy of his home, Brady (Fredric March) breaks down to Sarah (Florence Eldridge).
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The Evolution vs. Creationism argument is at the center of the Jerome Lawrence-Robert E. Lee Broadway play Inherit the Wind. Lawrence and Lee's inspiration was the 1925 "Monkey Trial," in which Tennessee schoolteacher John Scopes was arrested for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution in violation of state law. Scopes deliberately courted arrest to challenge what he and his supporters saw as an unjust law, and the trial became a national cause when The Baltimore Sun, represented by the famed (and atheistic) journalist H. L. Mencken, hired attorney Clarence Darrow to defend Scopes. The prosecuting attorney was crusading politician William Jennings Bryan, once a serious contender for the Presidency, now a relic of a past era. While Bryan won the case as expected, he and his fundamentalist backers were held up to public ridicule by the cagey Darrow. In both the play and film versions of Inherit the Wind, the names and places are changed, but the basic chronology was retained, along with most of the original court transcripts. John Scopes becomes Bertram Cates (Dick York); Clarence Darrow is Henry Drummond (Spencer Tracy); William Jennings Bryan is Matthew Harrison Brady (Fredric March); and H. L. Mencken is E. K. Hornbeck (Gene Kelly). Dayton, Tennessee is transformed into Hillsboro -- or, as the relentlessly cynical Hornbeck characterizes it, "Heavenly Hillsboro."

More people need to be talking about this movie. It’s shows both sides from the argument and it doesn’t try to antagonize anyone.

And yet it doesn’t avoid the truth of which side is ultimately in the wrong. This story is Brady’s tragedy. He’s a man who embodied the religious cause so thoroughly that he abandons his reason and perspective. He descends to the level of a fanatic, and it’s literally what destroys him by the end of the film.
One of the greatest scenes from two of the greatest actors.

Vanity vs Truth. the struggle inside man still lives on.
Show this movie to everyone you know, show your family and friends.
So hard to watch, so raw and painful. Yet necessary to watch.
Behind Great Man is a Good Woman.
Wait? It's a Fredric March wife?
Mother?
I never believed that Brady's interest in the case was more than simple self-interest and chasing power. God is merely the excuse, the false flag. Even when I was 10 and watching this for the first time, I doubted his motives. And having met dozens of closed-minded religious bigots like Brady during my life, I still do.
Listen to me very ...carefully. There....is...no....GOD!
