No...although the storyline is like that. This movie was more recent...within the last 20 years or so. As I recall, I was fooled throughout the movie, right up to the denouement by the man judged not guilty. He tells...his attorney as I recall...that he is guilty, that he did it. I don't recall any 'famous' actors male or female...the 'bad guy' had shorter, possibly wavy or slightly curly hair, lighter in color, not a big man...I think that was part of his 'charm' his size...he'd committed a horrendous murder...or, he was accused...and the attorney got him off, won the case...only to be told he'd done it at the end. The 'bad guy' looked a tad like Andy Rooney, though not as thick through the face...had an almost whiny, Southern-accent voice...or played it that way in the movie.
