I watched a reasonably interesting film lastnight which is based on a true story.<br><br>Its called; Inherit the wind (1999) stars Jack Lemmon as a teacher who is prosecuted for giving evolution lessons . Its set in 1925 and also stars George C Scott.

There's an earlier version than that one, which is probably better acclaimed. George C. Scott, who was a fantastic actor no doubt, was probably a bit past his prime. Great flick though.<br>Ron

I dont recall the Lord Jesus Christ being mentioned once in the film . Was The gospel proclaimed in the original do you know ?

Boy, it's been a long time since I was the student director of that play when I was in high school, but I don't think it really addressed the gospel directly.

Howard: <br>You can get the reviews for the 3 TV movie versions of this story and the one movie. These are all based (loosely) according to IMDB, on the famous 1925 "Scopes Monkey Trial"<br>Inherit the Wind<br><br>Dave<br><br>

No gospel. :(<br><br>Ron

Kim,<br><br>That's pretty interesting. Director, huh? <br><br>Hope all is well.<br><br>Ron

Thanks Dave

Keep in mind Mark that Inherit the Wind was stacked against those that were creationists. And in fact is often brought out when there is a lot of news about Evolution vs Creation in the news.<br><br>Inherit the Wind: Reaping the Whirwind<br>Inherit the Wind (review)<br><br><br>
