I take it you are referring to the original with Henry Fonda and not some lame remake. A very good film which was the director's (Sydney Lumet) first. I take a more considered approach to such social drama these days but I wouldn't deny that the acting was first rate. I trust that the lager wasn't Carlsberg Special Brew.Originally Posted by Neely

Of course it was the Henry Fonda; it's one of my favourite films, well top 10 probably. Naturally the lager wastn't Special Brew as I would rather drink non alcoholic beer than that.
At the moment I am madly in love with quality German beer - Bitburger or Warsteiner (of which I have just had three naturally), but at home I have to settle for the best of the worst with the likes of Stella, Becks etc, not good, but still better than Special Brew!
Well, chacun a son gout, as the saying goes, but I have to admit that the Special Brew does guarantee a good night's sleep. There is little to say about German beer, having drunk gallons of it in situe, except that it is just about as good as it gets when it comes to lager type beers, but let's not forget the Belgian brews.

I had to Google, "chacun a son gout", but I suppose you are correct, anything that guarantees a stir free sleep must be good - it is just the association with nesbit drunks that I can't get passed really...
Of course Belgian beer can never, ever, be beaten in terms of quality, but the German lagers refreshing post-tennis brew is hitting the spot I must say.
Yes, but what happens when the German Reinheitsgebot is overturned for being contrary to European equality laws? At which point, all German beers will be reduced to Europiss.
