I think the lawyer is defending a school teacher who taught his class evolution. The actor is playing the lawyer Clarence Darrow in this clip. I think he was just trying to say that teachers should be allowed to teach whatever they want to their class and they shouldn't be told that they have to teach a specific class and they can teach evolution instead of God.

He is defending his client who is apparently already found guilty. He did not give a name. The clips name is "Inherit The Wind" and in it the actor Spencer Tracy plays a lawyer.

I think this famous lawyer is defending the school techer who taught evolution to the catholic schools. The lawyer the famous actor played was Clarence Darrow who defended John Thomas Scopes in the Scopes trial. I think that he was trying to say that they shouldn't punish the people who want to learn of look at things from a different point of view. I think that the evolution theory that the school teacher was teaching can still go along with our religion.

In this clip of the movie Inherit The WInd (1960) Spencer Tracy plays the famous lawyer,Darrow. He defended a science teacher who was teaching evolution, which was a crime at the time. The lawyer in this clip tries to explain that teaching evolution should not be a crime.

This Lawyer is protecting the High School teacher John Scopes because he taught evolution. This was Ilegal at the time because of the Tennessees Butler Act. This was a famous trial in 1925 and was known as theScopes Trial. This actor is playing the part of Clarence Darrow the defense of John Scopes. The actor was Spencer Tracy who was born April 5th 1900 and died June 10th 1967.

I think the lawyer is defending a high school teacher in a trial called "The Scopes Trial". The name of the lawyer that the actor is playing is Clarence Darrow. My opinion about the lawyer's point of view is that they should be allowed to teach evolution in a public school.

Sorry, the actor is Spencer Tracy and he is playing the role of Clarence Darrow.

The lawyer is defending Bertrum. The name of the famous actor is Clarence Darrow. My opinion on the lawer`s point of view is that the lawyer is just saying that teachers can teach what they want to teach and should`nt be ordered to teach a certain class.

Spencer tracy plays the role of Clarence Darrow and I belive his client is a scientist who did something wrong! And I do agree with what he says!

The lawyer is Clarence Darrow. He is defending a school teacher who was found guilty already. The lawyer is being fair. Teachers should be able to teach their class what they want their class to learn. The teacher is guilty for teaching evolution which the lawyer thinks is pointless. The lawyer proved a good point.

The actor is playing Clarence Darrow who is a lawyer. He is trying to defend a highschool teacher from teaching eveloution because I think that he thinks it is fine to teach eveloution. Also if the teacher is guilty the judge might not allow people to learn or read about eveloution.

Spencer Tracy is playing clarance in the video and is defending a school teacher who dose not see it wrong to teach evolution. clarance is doing this because he dose not think it is wrong either so he dose a big speech to prove the guy not guilty

Mitchell has already said...

He defends a school teacher who taught evolution, I'm not sure which lawyer he plays but I think his view of things can make alot of sense. I also think it can be very silly what he says.
