Witness for the Prosecution

Сэру Уилфриду Робэртсу, престарелому адвокату, бережно опекаемому медсестрой мисс Плимсолл, поступает предложение защищать интересы Леонарда Стивена Воула, которому инкриминируется убийство. В невиновности подопечного его убеждает искренность чувств красивой женщины - Кристин Воул, в девичестве Хелм, и многоопытный юрист берётся за дело.

An old and sickly British barrister, on the eve of retirement, stumbles upon a new murder case and decides to step into the courtroom once again, to defend a man accused of killing a wealthy widow for her money.
