Title: wow! shatner was once an actor???
Product review: produced for public television back in the days before they became the station of high class infomercials, this courtroom drama focuses on henry wirtz, the commandant of the infamous civil war prison camp who was executed for war crimes. played effectively by richard basehart (anybody remember him?) but as usual the stars are the two lawyers: prosecutor william shatner and defense counsel jack cassidy, both of whom get to display acting chops they usually had to hide behind their personae. not for the faint of heart, but i remembered this for over 30 years and wasnt disappointed seeing it again.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
