8/10
I never expected it to be any good but..

It was very enjoyable. Sure it was a B-picture from they heyday of the best of them but for what it's worth, I venture to say it was a few notches above than a whole bunch of them.

Roger Andrews and Florence Rice had chemistry and certainly the cast of characters including one bad guy I never saw play one, were a pleasure to watch.

The story is simple and simply drawn - a down and out lawyer gets lucky and is thrust into the limelight. Those around him have mixed feelings. And he grows in his new-found role.

Andrews was certainly low-key but assuredly not mousy at all. His inner strength carries him through until the very satisfying end. Sure it was predictable, but the ride was fun and intriguing.

I recommend it to any and all B-movie cultists out there.
