_____________________________________________________________________________________ DEAR READER, OF REMAKES AND ADAPTATIONS Remakes and adaptations rarely surpass the artistic quality of an original and valuable artwork. In order to achieve that an exceptional talent with a broad vision is required. Reginald Rose’s drama entitled Twelve Angry Men was originally broadcast as a television play in 1954. It is basically a chamber play and it tells the story of a jury consisting of 12 people who deliberate in order to arrive to a unanimous verdict in a murder trial based on the concept of reasonable doubt. Soon it was adapted for the stage and in 1957 the highly successful drama film 12 Angry Men was produced, directed by Sidney Lumet and which starred Henry Fonda. This film made a lasting impact on many generations, due to the psychological process it depicts in social interactions despite its certain unrealistic legal features. It achieved a cult status and in 2007 it was selected for preservation in the Unites States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. Since then it was adapted many times for the stage and several new film remakes and adaptations were produced. Of these I would like to draw the attention to the two most significant film remakes and one adaptation. These three movies exemplify the rule at the beginning of my editorial. The first of these remakes is the Hindi film Ek Ruka Hua Faisla produced in 1986 and directed by Basu Chatterjee; the other the American television film 12 Angry Men produced in 1997 and directed
