Title: A memorable example of artistic license
Review: Have you ever watched a program in which - as would be announced prior to it being broadcast - "only the names have been changed to protect the innocent"? Well, here almost everything has been changed - not only the names - and that not to protect the innocent but rather to delude them. When I first saw the film, I thought that it was an accurate protrayal of the Scopes Trial, and, being uniformed as I was, I continued to think that for many years afterwards.Is the film enjoyable? Yes, definitely; however, for the sake of honesty there should be a disclaimer at the start, declaring that it is a piece of fiction and that if one wants to know the truth about what happened at the Scopes Trial, they should not depend on this film for that.So I give the film 5 stars for entertainment value and 0 stars for truthfulness.
