3 Screenshots from the movie "Witness for the Prosecution" (1957): First, a courtroom scene with a barrister addressing the court, surrounded by other legal professionals and a serious-looking audience. Subtitles read: "Leonard Stephen Vole, did you or did you not on the night of October 14 last, murder Emily Jane French?" Second, a continuation of the courtroom setting with the barrister speaking, and the audience attentively listening. Subtitles read: "murder Emily Jane French?" Third, a view of the defendant standing in the witness box, facing the court, with a subtitle conversation: "- I did not. - Thank you, that will be all."

Oct 14th - The wealthy, elderly widow, Mrs Emily French was murdered. Leonard Vole, who was recently made sole beneficiary of Mrs French's estate was prime suspect.
