    • Trivia
      According 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.

    Don't miss the beginning...or the end.

    Beginning with an incredible sequence of the furies, this film about a successful attorney who believes he is far superior to the rest of mankind is a tour de force for the amazing Claude Rains. Very much an early 30's film with those wonderful Freudian overtones. (Margo, the dancer who plays Rains' mistress, was married to Eddie Albert, "Green Acres" and is the mother of Edward Albert, "Butterflies are Free".)
