Synopsis
Crooked political leaders! Corrupt newspaper publishers! You'll swear you've never met such people! Pat O'Brien, Edward Arnold, Broderick Crawford, and Eve Arden star in this comical crime drama about a lawyer framed for murder. This madcap misadventure was directed by Tay Garnett (The Postman Always Rings Twice), beautifully shot by cinematographer Merritt B.
