Twelve Angry Men



Twelve Angry Men began as a 1954 teleplay, was adapted into a Broadway play in 1954, and then was adapted from that into a 1957 feature length film, which was remade in 1997 (starrin gJack Lemon). All four were written by Reginald Rose, and tells the story of a jury forced to reconsider its nearly unanimous decision by the single dissenter who sows a seed of reasonable doubt.

Monsterpiece Theater of Sesame Street featured the movie as one of its skits, where Alistair Cookie is confronted by twelve angry men.
