Herbert Vesely was one of the promises for a new German cinema already in the 50's, but after the 60's his star was already dimmed. He made a small number of films in the 70's and 80's, all non too good. This biography of Egon Schiele, one of the most important Austrian artists, is an example of the pretensions and emptiness of a Vesely-film of later date. The life of Schiele is presented here as a puzzle| well, Vesely thinks that Schiele's life was a puzzle: the core of the story is centered around the famous 1912 pornography trial and using this as base the film shows fragments of past and future. The problem is that it never becomes a unity and that the order of scenes and sequences seems to be at random: a cut-and-paste job that could have had any other result. Indeed, after seeing it twice I am almost convinced of it that a unsatisfactory linear thought-out film was changed into the puzzle in the editing room. Egon Schiele was an enigmatic man, but not a total puzzle, and this film does not bring him any closer. The films also fails in conveying the eroticism and meaning of the Schiele's paintings: the camera watches and glides over the models without any understanding of Schiele's intentions, we only see beautiful naked bodies. If interested in Schiele, you better buy a book with his works in stead.。弗兰克（保罗·纽曼 Paul Newman 饰）是一名律师，职业之外，他唯一的爱好就是喝酒，然而喝酒误事，导致弗兰克的业界名声一路走低。为了挽回声誉，弗兰克的朋友米基（杰克·瓦尔登 Jack Warden 饰）给他介绍了一宗大案，一名女子在教会医院中由于医疗事故而陷入了昏迷，弗兰克要帮助女子向医院讨回公道。 对于弗兰克来说，这是一桩难得的好差事，因为他只需要和被告达成庭外和解，就可以有不菲的赔偿金纳入囊中，可是，当他逐渐开始了解整个事件的来龙去脉之后，心中油然而生的正义感令他决定将这起事故追究到底。一边是弗兰克势单力薄，一边是有大企业撑腰的辩方律师，这场官司会迎来怎样的结局呢？。
