    Where to Watch

Lloyd Nolan gives an interesting performance as a man on trial for murder who refuses to disclose his true identity. Keller: Onslow Stevens. Alice: Jean Rogers. Steve: Richard Clarke. Miss Norton: Joan Valerie. Parker: Eric Blore. Cluett: Paul Stanton. Juror: Elisabeth Risdon. Mrs. Stetson: Mae Marsh. Good courtroom mystery with an excellent cast. David Burton directed.

Nolan assumes a new identity after murdering a wealthy miner and, in an act of martyrdom, refuses to defend himself rather than expose others, instead resigning himself to death. The law won't allow that, however, and they gather enough facts to prove his innocence. A remake of Paul Muni's debut film, THE VALIANT.
