Sentence of Death (Studio One) - 5 stars out of 10

Sentence of Death (Studio One) - 5 stars out of 10

"Sentence of Death" actually comes from the live-broadcast television show, "Studio One." This series is famous for its high quality of acting and this particular installment has the cinematic integrity of any film.  The show often included rising stars and "Sentence of Death" featured an unknown James Dean.  It tells the story of an innocent man accused of murder and a witness' struggle to find the real killer.  The story has an interesting dynamic as she must convince the police that the accused man is innocent, causing tension between two partners in the process.  The ending has a twist that you can predict if you have seen enough movies, but it's still completely worth the experience.  This story is featured on Netflix with another episode, "The Night America Trembled."  Both stories are entirely worthwhile, particularly the latter.
