- Quotes
Clarence Darrow: [I was reading last night of the aspiration of the old Persian poet, Omar-Khayyam,he told the judge. It appealed to me as the highest that I can vision. I wish it was in my heart, and I wish it was in the hearts of all: So I be written in the Book of Love; I do not care about that Book above. Erase my name, or write it as you will, So I be written in the Book of Love]
Featured review
I read the book "Clarence Darrow: Attorney for the Damned" written by John A. Farrell, so I was somewhat excited to see a movie was made about him. Clarence Darrow was born in 1857 and was in his prime before the turn of the century. He would defend all types of unpopular characters including murderers, African-Americans, unions, and even evolution. He would also defend people because they had the means to pay him handsomely. He loved women and talking.
Of course, a movie is not going to be able to capture as much as a book (especially the 400 pager I read), yet I think the movie "Darrow" did a fair job.
