On Trial is a 1939 drama film directed by Terry O. Morse and produced and distributed by Warner Bros.
It is based on the 1914 Broadway play by Elmer Rice.
[1] Warners had previously filmed Rice's play in 1928 as an early talkie, also called On Trial,[2] and, earlier, in 1917, Essanay Studios had made a silent version with the same title.
The working title for the film was "The Strickland Case", and it was originally intended to be directed by William McGann.
[3] This film is preserved in the Library of Congress collection.
