TCM Spotlight: Order in the Court in May 2021

Gregory Peck in To Kill a
Mockingbird

Each Wednesday night this May, Turner Classic Movies will be showing films set in the courtroom. On TCM Spotlight: Order in the Court, the channel will show courtroom movies ranging from those focused on murder trials to those that aren't quite so serious.

TCM Spotlight: Order in the Court begins on Wednesday, May 5 with movies centred around murder trials. Wednesday, May 12 features comedies set in the courtroom. Wednesday, May 19 centres on military trials. Finally, on Wednesday, May 26 movies focused on various social issues will air. Below is the schedule for TCM Spotlight: Order in the Court. Among the films airing are 12 Angry Men (1957) and Anatomy of a Murder (1959) on May 5, Adam's Rib (1949) and The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (1947) on May 12, Judgement at Nuremberg (1961) and Paths of Glory (1958) on May 19, and To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) and Inherit the Wind (1960) on May 26.

TCM Spotlight: Order  in the Court looks like it will feature a large number of great movies. If I have only one caveat about it, I think I would have tried to fit The Caine Mutiny (1951) on May 19. It possibly my favourite movie touching upon a court martial. Regardless, TCM Spotlight: Order in the Court is something to look forward to in May.
