ABOUT THIS EVENT
Otto Preminger’s epic courtroom drama featuring a stellar cast led
by James Stewart, Lee Remick, George C. Scott and Ben Gazarra was
nominated for seven Academy Awards. The music of Strayhorn and
Ellington plays an important role in the film, which was one of the
first blockbusters to highlight jazz and African American composers.

Logan Family
