Complete Fantasy but....


Worth watching if you are an E.G. Robinson fan. He does his best impression of Jimmy Stewart as a harried law professor turned into D.A. trying to clean up a big city. I didn't count the words but would guess Robinson had about 90% of the dialog in this movie and was in virtually every scene. Other than that the movie is a typical dated 1930's picture with the obligatory fancy women's gowns and rather lavish settings - and even the gangsters wear suits and ties. There isn't much reality but it is interesting watching Robinson work.
