This fictional treatment of the historic Scopes "monkey trial" of the 1920's pits Henry Drummond (Spencer Tracy) against Matthew Harrison Brady (Frederic March) arguing about the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution. The actual 1925 trial pitted famed trial lawyer Clarence Darrow versus frequent presidential candidate Williams Jennings Bryan and provides the basis – and much of the actual dialogue – for the legal arguments. In a steamy Tennessee courtroom, the two men posture and declaim in a trial followed closely throughout the nation. The ending is both dramatic and yet anti-climatic, with no real winner or loser and without settling the question definitively.
