I have to say I was disappointed to see only criticism of this movie!
I only came upon it by chance but this short movie was intriguing to me!
I disagree that the plot was "subpar" & thought the acting was adequate & the plot reasonably well constructed!
This is after all, over 70 years old!!!
How could it hope to compete with multi-million dollar modern productions???
But it presents the evolution of the clever but unprincipled lawyer who switches allegiances without justice!
It asks ethical questions ahead of its times!!!
Until the lawyer finds in his cleverness, his own demise is imminent!
Then swings the attack for a riveting conclusion!
It doesn't answer all the questions it prompts!
But I don't think that was its purpose!
I was impressed by "Criminal Lawyer" & I believe it has aged well!
If only I could say that for some who consider themselves wise because they are old in years!!!
