Lawyer Man (1932)

Portraying the meteoric rise and fall of a New York attorney, Lawyer Man has a threadbare story and is really a waste of the talents of William Powell and Joan Blondell. Powell is the titular lawyer. His charisma is present as always but he’s just going through the motions that has him beginning and ending at the same exact place. Blondell is his long-suffering, but loyal secretary who follows him on his journey to nowhere.
