PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Based on the teleplay
"Twelve Angry Men"
by Reginald Rose on Studio One (CBS, 20 Sep 1954)
A low-budget ($350,000) film
shot in only 19 days
Even in the 1950s, it would have been highly unlikely to have
an all-male, all-white jury.
The jurors were made to represent a cross-section of American attitudes towards race, justice, and ideology.
12 Angry Men has long been used as an industrial training aid for corporate managers studying interaction, emotions and prejudices in group decision making.
