Product Information
Based on the bestselling books by Sir John Mortimer, RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY is a courtroom drama in which comedy plays as large a role as the actual law. John Mortimer's crisp, clever writing creates the kind of juicy roles actors can really sink their teeth into. While the tubby barrister Horace Rumpole (Leo McKern) can be painfully stubborn, he is ultimately out for the greater good, and never gives up until justice has been found.
