The Heir of the Wind

Based on the real case "Monkey Trial" (also known as the "Scopes Case") in 1925. An American high school biology teacher has been sued by the state government for teaching evolution in class. The case caused a sensation throughout the United States. Church forces came to the town to express support, and other fronts such as professors and scientists also came to support. Coupled with continuous media reports, the town suddenly became lively. Politician Matthew Harrison Brady (played by Frederic March) represented the prosecution, while the defense was represented by the famous lawyer Henry Drummond (played by Spencer Tracy). During the interrogation, the two faced tit-for-tat, which gradually turned into a century-old debate about evolution and creation, science and religion. The title of the film is taken from the Bible Proverbs 11:29, "Whoever troubles his own house will bear the breeze."
