The Cohen Case Files: I, the Jury (1982)

Written and Produced (Uncredited) by Larry Cohen Through print interviews, commentary tracks, and in person question and answer sessions, I feel like I may have heard more about I, the Jury than any other film in which Larry Cohen has had a creative hand. The problem is that most everything Cohen has to say about […]
