* The FridgeBrilliance moment when you consider how Col. Jessup's character was painted in the whole film. In every scene he was depicted as enjoying being the centre of attention, almost monologuing theatrically in a very slow tone of speaking: the scene in his office (what with sarcastically calling his man to "get the President on the phone"), at the lunch (he was shown telling a story to the whole bunch, and the "you have to ask me nicely" incident), and in the court. In this light the brilliance of Kaffee's line of questioning became clear, as he was essentially denying Jessup to gain a momentum in their exchange, resulting in the latter unnecessarily insisting in his complete authority, ultimately spelling his doom.
