    Where to Watch

Robert, a distinguished lawyer, discovers his wife Dorothea is cheating on him with a struggling painter named Jerry. When Jerry's ex-lover dies, all the evidence points to him, so Dorothea, believing Jerry to be innocent, begs Robert to defend him in court. Based on the play by Wilhelm Speyer.

Cortez, a lawyer, witnesses the suicide of a woman at the home of an artist with whom his wife, Robbins, is having an affair. The artist, Beal, is accused of murder and Cortez agrees to defend him only on the condition that he and Robbins stop their affair. The courtroom scenes drag on and none of it is worth the effort. Originally intended as a vehicle for John Barrymore who stepped down due to bad health.
