Trial and Error ( The Dock Brief )
Aka 'The Dock Brief'.After nearly 40 years of waiting for his big chance, incompetent barrister Morgenhall (Peter Sellers) gets a "dock brief" to defend mild Mr Fowle (Richard Attenborough). Fowle has admitted to murdering his insufferably jolly wife, yet despite his insistence of guilt, Morgenhall refuses to believe it. Convinced that this is the opportunity of his lifetime, he imagines a magnificent victory in court with himself as star performer. But the actual trial doesn't go quite according to plan!
