Anatomy Of A Murder.

Paul Biegler (Stewart) is a former district attorney who lost his re-election bid in Michigan. He is hired by Laura Manion (Remick) to defend her husband, US Army Lieutenant Frederick "Manny" Manion, who has been arrested for the first-degree murder of Bernard "Barney" Quill. Manion claims to have no memory of the event, suggesting that he may be eligible for a version of a temporary insanity defense.
