I had seen the hindi's made-for-DD movie on DD. Was engrossing as I had not seen
12 Angry men. The english version is very good in execution tho' it was staged
in just one room, Fonda's acting was superb. If it looked stagey, most of the
50s/60s English were like that. Watch Gregory Peck movies to realize that.
