Charades: Religious Allegory in 12 Angry Men
Bruce L. Hay
Harvard Law School
Chicago-Kent Law Review, Vol. 82, No. 2, December 2007
Abstract:
This essay, a contribution to a symposium marking the 50th anniversary of the film 12 Angry Men, shows that the film is an intricate, carefully constructed allegory of a series of stories from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. The essay offers some conjectures on the relation between the film's biblical subtext and its surface political themes.
