remake of the Japanese film "Rashomon" (1950). It was directed byMartin Ritt and is based on stories byRyūnosuke Akutagawa .The Outrage stars
Edward G. Robinson ,Paul Newman ,Lawrence Harvey ,Claire Bloom , andWilliam Shatner . The film uses a western genre to tell the same story as the Japanese movie.Like the original
Kurosawa film, this film shows the contrasting information between various witnesses to a crime.Shatner and Robinson listen to four different versions of a rape/murder, told alternatively by Harvey, Bloom, Newman and
Howard Da Silva . Harvey is the one murdered, but tells his story through an Indian medicine man. Each story is a biased opinion of what happened, and the movie never resolves which story is true (if any).External links
