Yes - Inherit the Wind is definitely fictional, but with some truth mixed in to make it LOOK authentic.

Well, that's the way it is with fiction.

It's attempt is to represent (re-present) the truth for what it means and not for what it is.

Which version of the moviee version of Inherit the Wind are you referring to? The Black and White movie is better, but it goes out of its way to make the Creationist, wrong about science though he is, look like a narrow minded bigot.
There is a more recent version where the characters are more even-handed and an attempt is made to show the two sides of the debate without trying to make one side or the other look like a villain.

Good question, Shawn. I am referring to the B&W version that stars Spencer Tracy.
