As for the transfer, it’s almost too good as a moment early on featuring the makeup on Lee Remick’s bruised face is so obvious it’s almost comical, but you’re hardly paying attention as she does everything in her power to seduce Stewart into taking her husband’s case.
Anatomy for a Murder may best be known in the movie blogosphere as a film that features what may arguably be Saul Bass’s most well known title sequences. Well, you can watch those titles below, but I’ve also included one of Criterion’s “Three Reasons” videos that gives you a great taste of what this film has to offer, particularly when it comes to the courtroom dialogue.
As if I needed to say it, this is a title I most certainly recommend.
I also have to add, the art on both Anatomy of a Murder and World on a Wire is exceptional. You can take a look at how artist Sam Smith developed the World on a Wire art right here.
The film earned some acclaim out of Toronto in 2010, but never seemed to catch on in 2011, most likely due to the fact ARC Entertainment and Producers Distribution Agency didn’t have the kind of marketing budget a smaller film like this needed to gain large word-of-mouth. It did, however, manage $4.4 million after being released in only 33 theaters back in October. That tells me I need to finally take the plunge and watch it.
