THE SETUP Disgraced attorney Frank Galvin (Paul Newman) seeks redemption in a case against Boston's legal and Catholic establishments.
FRANK TALK Sinatra lobbied for this part, too, as did Butch Cassidy sidekick Robert Redford, who envisioned a more noble Galvin.
WORTHY EXTRAS? We object...to the resurrected Sidney Lumet-Newman ''joint'' commentary featuring a paltry 88 seconds of chat from the star. Fortunately, his performance speaks for itself. B+
