Rating 7.6/10
Runtime: 82 min

Country: USA

Cast

John Barrymore ... George 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.

Allan Cuthbertson ... George Aisgill
Raymond Huntley ... Mr. Hoylake

Description: 1947. Twenty-five year old Joe Lampton has just moved to the small town of Warnley to start working in the Treasury Department of the Town Hall. The only difference between his life in Warnley and his hometown of Dufdon, a largely war-bombed factory town, is that he proverbially will have no grease under his fingernails, the Warnley job which will only get him so far. Although he strives to a better station in life, Joe detests those who were born with silver spoons in their mouths, such people who generally believe they are better than him. Joe is up front to Charles Soames, his colleague and who becomes his best friend in Warnley, that he evaluates girls first by their accessories, the more expensive the better, and second by their looks, he searching for someone he considers "wholesome", arguably for him akin to naive in not realizing that he is using her to advance his social and financial position. Through the Thespians, the community theater group that Charles invites him into, Joe, despite Charles' warning against doing so, sets his sights on Susan Brown, the daughter of arguably the wealthiest and most powerful man in town, an industrialist who also is on town council. Susan's parents would never see someone like Joe as son-in-law material. Susan's boyfriend, Jack Wales, is exactly the type of person from that privileged class that Joe so detests. However, Joe ends up befriending Alice Aisgill, a slightly older Parisienne in an unhappy marriage in that her husband, George, is a chronic philanderer. While Alice starts out being his confidante in she knowing about his pursuit of Susan, they end up embarking on an affair as they fall in love with each other. Thus, Joe ends up in a no-win situation with both Alice and Susan that is destined to end in tragedy for all concerned...
