The Dock Brief**   
(GB 1962)                                                 
MGM. 78m. bw

A down-on-his-luck barrister is given a self-confessed minor murderer to defend.
Low key but also rather touching legal satire, mainly watchable for two notable character stars in good form at the pivotal stage of their respective careers. Only marginally expanded out from an economical TV play, but still feeling much longer for it.

Written by: Pierre Rouve, John Mortimer, from his play.
Producer: Dimitri de Grunwald.
Director: James Hill.
Starring: Peter Sellers, Richard Attenborough, Beryl Reid, David Lodge.
Photography: Ted Scaife.
Music: Ron Grainer.
