Sergel. Based on the 1954 teleplay of the same title for the CBS Studio One antholo- gy television series by Regi- nald Rose, it was made into a KLJKO\VXFFHVVIXO¿OPLQ starring and produced by Hen- ry Fonda. The drama depicts a jury considering a homicide trial. It looks like an open- and-shut case until one of the jurors begins opening the oth- ers’ eyes to the facts, causing reasonable doubt. Tempers get short, arguments grow heated and the jurors become 12 an- gry men. Shaffer has been directing on the coast for more than 10 years.
