COUNSELLOR AT LAW (1933) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - William Wyler

Written by - Elmer Rice

Starring - John Barrymore, Bebe Daniels

 

"A successful attorney has his Jewish poverty stricken background brought home to him after he discovers his wife has been unfaithful to him. A film which makes great use of its setting, with the action taking place during the course of a day and entirely in the attorney's office which is populated by colourful personages. John Barrymore's pivotal performance as the attorney is a great character study, while the fast paced dialogue makes the story move at an exciting pace."
