Counsellor at law (1933) - classic drama directed by William Wyler, starring John Barrymore, Bebe Daniels, Doris Kenyon, Isabel Jewell and Melvyn Douglas

Rating 7.6/10
Runtime: 82 min
Language: English
Country: USA
Directed by: William Wyler
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023911/

Cast

John Barrymore ... George Simon
Bebe Daniels ... Rexy Gordon
Doris Kenyon ... Cora Simon
Isabel Jewell ... Bessie Green
Melvyn Douglas ... Roy Darwin
Onslow Stevens ... John Tedesco
Thelma Todd ... Lillian La Rue

Description: One of two partners at the Manhattan law firm of Simon and Tedesco, George Simon, is hard working and well respected by others at the firm and his clients, having just successfully defended a wife charged with murdering her husband. He worked his way out of the Jewish ghetto, his clients being both members of upper class society as well as people he knew from the old neighborhood. On the high society spectrum within his circle is his wife, Cora Simon, who he deeply loves, who brought two snobbish children from a previous marriage into the union, and who he rightly believes married him despite his past. Down and out or high society, he is not averse to helping out those in who he truly believes. On a regularly hectic day of meeting after meeting, mostly with clients, his life is placed into a tailspin when something he knowingly did in it being illegal several years ago but did for the altruistic reason of the betterment of an individual and as a result society - that path which did occur - threatens to resurface, which if it does means probable disbarment. In this situation, he will discover on who he can count, even if he doesn't explicitly state the problem, including his devoted secretary, Rexy Gordon, who has been quietly dealing with her own feelings about working at the firm and who can see that something is not quite sitting right with her usually unflappable boss.
