Adapted from Reginald Rose's television play, this film marked the
directing debut of Sidney Lumet. At the end of a murder trial in
New York City, the twelve jurors retire to consider the verdict.
The man in the dock is a young Puerto Rican accused of killing his
father, and eleven of the twelve jurors do not hesitate in finding
him guilty. However, one of the jurors (Henry Fonda), reluctant to
send the youngster to his death without any debate, returns a vote
of not guilty. From this single event, the jurors begin to
re-evaluate the case, as they look at the murder - and themselves -
in a fresh light.

weapons including sub-machine guns and missile launchers. In 'Death
Wish 4 - The Crackdown' (1987) the death of his girlfriend's

Box-set collection of five of Audrey Hepburn's most famous films.
In her Hollywood debut 'Roman Holiday' (1953), Hepburn won an
Academy Award as Princess Anne, the bored royal who absconds from
her duties and meets up with Gregory Peck's American ex-pat
journalist. Billy Wilder directs her in 'Sabrina Fair' (1954) as
the shy daughter of a wealthy family's chauffeur, who returns from
two years in Paris as a sophisticated young woman. The musical
romantic comedy 'Funny Face' (1957) sees Hepburn playing alongside
Fred Astaire to the music of Gershwin as a young bookshop clerk
transformed into an international fashion model. Adapted from the
Truman Capote novella, 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' (1961) sees Hepburn
in her archetypal role as dizzy call-girl Holly Golightly, trying
not to fall for George Peppard's failed writer in New York. In
'Paris When it Sizzles' (1964), Hepburn plays a secretary hired to
help alcoholic writer Richard Benson (William Holden) finish up a
screenplay for a Hollywood producer, with only two days until the
end of his deadline.

Elia Kazan directs this 1950s crime drama starring Marlon Brando.
Ex-boxer Terry Malloy (Brando) becomes involved in corrupt dockside
politics through his lawyer brother Charley (Rod Steiger), who

Terry witnesses the murder of a union worker by Johnny's thugs, his
conscience begins to trouble him. He meets the murder victim's
sister (Eva Marie Saint), and learns from Father Barry (Karl
Malden) that the dead man was about to expose Johnny's illegal
activities. Father Barry then tries to convince Terry to provide
the evidence required to put Johnny behind bars. The film won eight
Oscars, including Best Picture, Director and Actor.
