Criminal Lawyer

A rule-bending, hard-drinking but brilliant (and very successful) attorney, played by Pat O'Brien, yearns for the quieter life of a judgeship, but high-profile cases keep coming his way including a murder rap against his own bodyguard (Mike Mazurki). A gallery of beloved Hollywood character actors enliven this smart, exciting melodrama, including Jane Wyatt, Carl Benton Reid, Jerome Cowan, and directed by Seymour Friedman. Newly remastered.
