''Counsel for Crime'' is a 1937 American crime film directed by John Brahm starring Otto Kruger, Douglass Montgomery and Jacqueline Wells. ==Plot== Following his graduation from law school, Senator Robert Maddox's (Hall) adopted son Paul (Montgomery) is offered a job at Bill Mellon's (Kruger) law firm. Mellon, an unscrupulous criminal lawyer, is actually Paul's real father, but keeps the fact a secret from him. When Paul finds out about Mellon's corruption, he quits and gets a job as assistant district attorney. Soon after taking the position, Paul spearheads a state investigation into legal malpractice. This worries Mellon and prompts him to assign a crook to implicate those investigating him in a scandal. When the crook finds out the truth about Paul's birth he is accidentally shot by Mellon in an effort to conceal the information. Paul successfully prosecutes his own father, who is convicted of second-degree murder because he refused to discuss the content of the papers over which he and Mitchell were struggling, thus protecting Paul and his mother. ==Cast== * Otto Kruger as Bill Mellon * Douglass Montgomery as Paul Maddox * Jacqueline Wells as Ann McIntyre * Thurston Hall as Senator Robert Maddox * Nana Bryant as Mrs. Maddox * Gene Morgan as Friday * Marc Lawrence as Edwin Mitchell * Robert Warwick as Asa Stewart * Stanley Fields as George Evans * Joe Caits as Hood (uncredited) * Harvey Clark as Shyster (uncredited) * Dick Curtis as Hood (uncredited) * Harry Depp as Shyster (uncredited) * Dick Elliott as Bundy (uncredited) * Bud Jamison as Jailer (uncredited) * George Lloyd as Jed Sawyer (uncredited) * George Offerman Jr. as Runner (uncredited) * Guy Usher as Judge (uncredited) * Lloyd Whitlock as Prosecuting Attorney (uncredited) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Counsel for Crime」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
