In the early 1980's I watched this movie late one night.
It was an English movie, which appeared to have been adapted from a stageplay. The cast was a handful of mature Bristish actors who play retired barristers and a young George Segal, playing an American businessman on holiday in Europe.
The premise was simple. These elderly retired barristers gathered together one stormy evening (of course, what would an English movie be without stormy weather) each month and would try a case, make a game of it.
When George Segal showed up on their doorstep looking for help, after a flat tire, these gentlemen invited him to play their game with them. Segal became the accused. The barristers had to determine the crime with which Segal was charged, then try him for that crime and then sentence him.
All the information used in this trial had to be accurate and true to Segal's life.
Does anyone remember this movie?
