The iconic second-floor courtroom is featured in the film, and is the location of the original trial that inspired the book and the movie, by bestselling author and former Michigan Supreme Court Justice, Ishpeming native John Voelker. The occasion for the public showings at the courthouse is the celebration of the 60^th anniversary of the film premiere. “Anatomy of a Murder” premiered on July 1, 1959, in Detroit, after two earlier film previews in Marquette County which were attended by the stars of the film, including James Stewart and Eve Arden.
