Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Twilight of Honor (1963)

Principled widower takes on the defense in high-profile case in which an entire town wants the blood of the accused. Sound familiar? Yep -- you got it -- it's a low-brow "To Kill a Mockingbird" rip-off.

Where Mockingbird had nobility, sadness, and weight, Honor substitutes in entitlement, seediness, and romance. It's a waste of time -- especially when considered comparatively.
