The Trials of O'Brien is a 1965 television series starring Peter Falk as a sordid Shakespeare-quoting lawyer and featuring Elaine Stritch as his secretary and Joanna Barnes as his ex-wife.

Falk often said that he actually liked this financially unsuccessful series much better than his later smash-hit Columbo.
