I usually don't care for the films made from Agatha Christie mysteries, as they must be very hard to film because something is usually lacking in the transference from book to movie. "Witness for the Prosecution", however is another matter as it is an excellent film. There isn't a dull moment in this story. All of the actors and actresses are perfectly cast, especially Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton. Even Tyrone Power is cast in a role unusual for him--instead of being just a pretty boy he is a distinguished defendant. There is a lot of comedy within this film as well as suspense and a lot of plot twists to keep you guessing who killed Mrs. French. Elsa Lanchester is excellent as the nurse prescribed for the stubborn Charles Laughton. Just sit back and watch, relax and enjoy! A 10 out of 10!
