TUE 31 JANUARY – SAT 4 FEBRUARY Frank Galvin is a washed up veteran lawyer and an alcoholic. He is presented with one last chance to redeem himself when he is given an open-and-shut medical malpractice case that no one thinks he can win. Up against the unforgiving medical establishment and the all-powerful Catholic Church, he courageously refuses an out of court settlement, and instead takes the case and the entire legal system to court. A thrilling and powerful courtroom drama which inspired the five times Oscar-nominated Sidney Lumet film starring Paul Newman, James Mason, and Charlotte Rampling. The doctors left her more dead than alive. If their conscience won’t let them pay…Frank Galvin will.
