Edward G Robinson brings his great acting talents to be a top dog lawyer and his acting is excellent. The supporting cast includes Nina Foch, Ed Platt (later chief of control on Get Smart), and in a brief role DeForest Kelly (later Dr. McCoy on Star Trek). This Warner Brothers film is a remake of an earlier Warner film.
Still, the retread works out nicely. Right from the beginning when Robinson railroads Kelly to the electric chair, Robinson is in top form. The cast is good, and the directing is solid to go with the acting. Overall, especially if your a Robinson fan, this is worth while to watch.
Robinson seems just as well suited to play the over bearing and shady lawyer as he is to play a mobster.
