Witness for the prosecution ending
The film had six Oscar nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Leading Actor (Charles Laughton), Best Supporting Actress (Elsa Lanchester), Best Sound and Best Editing.
Sir Wilfrid Roberts (Charles Laughton), a somewhat elderly and heart-sick lawyer, agrees to defend Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power), accused of murder, over the protests of his private nurse, Miss Plimsoll (Elsa Lanchester), since his doctor had recommended him to stay away from cases with a criminal component. Vole is accused of murdering Mrs. Emily French (Norma Varden), an elderly widow who had fallen in love with Vole, to the point of having made him the principal beneficiary of her inheritance. Consistent evidence points to Vole as the murderer in the case.
After this first blow, Christine delivers what seems to be the coup de grace to Leonard, testifying that he had confessed to having killed Mrs. French, and that it was his conscience that finally forced him to tell the truth. Leonard, totally bewildered and beside himself, does not understand how the one he believes to be his loving wife could betray him in this way, dismantling all his claims that he was with her when Mrs. French was murdered.

The fact that Billy Wilder, from a very short story, and by the way quite mediocre, by Agatha Christie, achieved one of his absolute Masterpieces and one of the peaks of judicial cinema says a lot about the magnificent and splendid screenwriter that Wilder always was. But, as if that were not enough, also as a director he managed to extract the best performances I have ever seen from Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich and Elsa Lanchester. A case apart is, of course, my adored Charles Laughton in a role that has justly passed into the anthology of cinema because the superb English actor gave us a performance where he poured all his sublime genius, talent, creativity, sense of humor and potential to delight, recreate and fascinate us with every second of his performance in the film.
