Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to cinematographer Lee Garmes, "I directed about 60 to 70 percent of the picture; we'd start at 9 a.m. and some days Hecht [Ben Hecht] was there, some days MacArthur [Charles MacArthur]; they'd start working on the picture at 11 a.m.! So they relied on me. They set the style of how they wanted the dialogue done, and I would direct the whole physical side of it."
- Quotes
Lee Gentry: You know you sometimes make up for your stupidity as a prosecutor, Mr O'Brien, by these outbursts of civic virtue.

Featured review
Ultra-bizarre!
This Claude Rains film is worth seeing simply because it is so ultra-bizarre, with the strangest opening sequence I've ever seen. It looks as if the film was written and directed by Salvador Dali at some points, not Ben Hecht and Charles McArthur!! You really have to see it to believe it and I couldn't do it justice trying to describe it further.
Rains plays Lee Gentry, a hot-shot lawyer who seems to be able to get guilty clients off for crimes with ease. Naturally the cops and prosecutors hate him but what can they do? Well, they can let Gentry destroy himself...which he does when he shoots a girlfriend in a fit of jealousy! What's next? Well, see for yourself.
The style is much better than the story itself and lovers of the strange MUST see this one! Clever and very original even if the story itself seems pretty weird.
