February 16 movie: Boomerang! Elia Kazan movie about a prosecutor who defies political pressure and helps to exonerate an accused murderer because he believes in the man's innocence. His motto is that the goal of the district attorney is not to get convictions, but to ensure justice. (So, it's a fantasy.)
Much of the movie is a courtroom drama, and a good one. There was narration at the end which implied that it was based on a true story. Starred Dana Andrews as the prosecutor, also Lee J. Cobb and Arthur Kennedy.
