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

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.

He is older than your average war veteran and gets home to find that his children have grown up and faces the difficult task of re-establishing an intimate relationship with his loving wife. At work, Al is promoted but now finds it difficult to be the hardhearted banker he seemingly once was. Fred Derry was an Air Force Officer and Bombardier but realizes on his return that he has no marketable skills and finds himself in his old job at the pharmacy working as a soda jerk. He also finds that he had married in haste and that his wife, whom he'd only known for a few weeks when they married during his flight training, isn't quite as enamored with him now that he's out of uniform. Lastly, there is Homer Parrish who lost both of his hands in a shipboard fire. He's become quite adept at using the prosthetics the Navy has provided him but resents the pity he sees in others eyes. He had hoped to marry his childhood sweetheart but is no longer sure he can burden her with his own physical limitations. All three men become fast friends and with Fred Derry's marriage falling apart, he finds himself falling in love with Al's daughter, Peggy. In the end, all three finds ways to move forward with their lives...
