The Boys Summary
Director: Sidney J. Furie
Genres: Drama
Rating:
Director Sidney_J._Furie was betwixt and between his Canadian TV work and his theatrical-film prominence vis-a-vis Ipcress_File (65) when he helmed the British social melodrama The_Boys. The title characters are four youths, all implicated in the murder of a night watchman. Robert_Morley plays the defense attorney who tries to convince the jury to render a charitable verdict. His basic argument is that the government expects a death sentence in cases involving robbery, but is more lenient towards crimes of passion. Prosecuting attorney Richard_Todd is unmoved; his job is to prove that the boys aren't the innocent victims of society they're made out to be. The_Boys benefits from Furie's dextrous use of flashbacks during the testimony scenes. Hal Erickson, Rovi
