Law and and justice are important themes in film, not only in
courtroom dramas, but also in the western, the film noir, even the
documentary. In the Godfather trilogy Francis Ford Coppola shows
that the Mafia possesses its own strict codes, even though they are
in conflict with those of the criminal justice system. In Woody
Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors the protagonist also "gets away
with murder," but with a different dramatic intent by the director
and a different effect on the audience. Shedding light on myriad
facets of the law/film relationship, fourteen contributors to Legal
Reelism analyze films ranging from The Man Who Shot Liberty
Valance,It's a Wonderful Life, and Drums Along the Mohawk to Do the
Right Thing,Basic Instinct,The Thin Blue Line, and Thelma and
Louise. The first volume to contain work by both humanists and
legal specialists, Legal Reelism is a landmark text for those
concerned with depictions of justice in the media and the impact of
those depictions on society at large.
