Here are the discussion questions provided by our leader Denise Lishner:

  1. Why did Paul Newman’s law colleague give him this medical malpractice case? Why did he accept it?
  2. There were several surprising twists in this film. What surprised you?
  3. Why did he refuse to pick up the phone as it kept ringing at the end of the film?
  4. Paul Newman was a heavy drinker in real life as he was in this film. Do you have to experience in real life what a character experiences to really portray that character well?
