TRIVIA---in Otto Preminger's ANATOMY OF A MURDER, Judge Weaver was played by Joseph N. Welch, who was chief counsel for the Army during the Army-McCarthy Hearings. Welch's comment to Sen. Joseph McCarthy, " . . . Senator. You've done enough . . . Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?" was a turning point in McCarthyism. As a condition for appearing in the movie, Welch's wife played a member of the jury.
