Trivia:
When Humphrey Bogart was told that director Nicholas Ray wanted to film the entire 'sentencing statement for the defense' sequence in a single take, Bogart was concerned because he had never delivered such a long speech without cuts and feared he couldn't do it. Ray calmed Bogart down, suggested several rehearsals, and much to Bogart's surprise, Ray rolled during the rehearsals filming most of what has become the famous and well played sentencing sequence. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the Morton office, after Ed stands up and leaves, the Morton's right hand is on the desk. In the next shot his right hand is high over the desk. moreFAQ

Corny by today's standards but there were some amazing mise-en-scenes, like the one in which Bogey is captured in the left corner of the screen, the defendant in the middle and the judge above him. Plus the ending shot was a very strong statement. Being an old socialist, I was moved by the pre-sentencing monlogue by Bogey. Worth seeing if for nothing more than the filming.
