In which film does Al Pacino deliver his famous "You're out of order!" monologue?
"... And Justice for All" is a 1979 courtroom drama film, directed by Norman Jewison. It stars Al Pacino as Arthur Kirkland. This film includes a well-known scene in which Pacino's dramatic male character shouts, "You're out of order!". The first one to say, "You're out of order!" was the judge. Jack Warden as Judge Rayford shouts that Arthur is "out of order," to which Arthur retorts, "You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They're out of order!"
In the film, America's justice system comes under indictment. Here is a situation with an upstanding attorney, Arthur Kirkland, who's tasked with defending a hard-line and tainted local judge (John Forsythe). The judge is standing trial for rape. Kirkland has a history with the judge, who jailed one of the lawyer's clients on a technicality. So when the judge confesses his guilt, Kirkland faces an ethical and legal quandary.
This movie is many different things thematically and narratively while essentially posing as a non-conventional courtroom drama. There is gritty realism in the look and feel of the movie's screenplay as it plunges a person into the emotional roller-coaster that is the life and legal career of the story's protagonist, Arthur Kirkland.
