The dramatic life and powerful courtroom presence of famed attorney Clarence Darrow have made him an irresistible character for some of Hollywood's greatest actors. Spencer Tracy famously portrayed a Darrow-inspired character in the film *Inherit the Wind*, as did Melvyn Douglas in a later television version.
