Witness for the Prosecution is a 1957 movie directed by Billy Wilder. This classic courtroom drama is based on Agatha Christie's play of the same name. The film tells the story of Sir Wilfrid Robarts(Charles Laughton), a renowned barrister who takes on the case of Leonard Vole(Tyrone Power), accused of murdering a wealthy widow. Christie is the queen of the crime and thriller genre, and Wilder successfully captures the mystery and suspense surrounding the story adapted from her play.
