Clarence Darrow (1988)
Clarence Darrow(1988) Henry Fonda masterfully portrays Clarence Darrow with greater flair than historical accuracy. Similar bias in Inherit the Wind(1961). For the true story, see The History Channel’s The Monkey Trial. Edward Larson has written a superb book: Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America’s Continuing Debate over Science and Religion. Larson has also done a superb Teaching Company lecture series, The Theory of Evolution: A History of Controversy.
