A fun little film that captures the condescending attitude toward women lawyers in the 1930s. There were very few women attorneys anywhere then. These smart, strong lawyers are ambitious, but have no qualms about suborning perjury and obstructing justice to get results for their clients.
The climactic trial scene at the end of the film is legally ridiculous (for example, the Prosecutor is also the main witness!), but ends with the woman attorney being disbarred for finally doing the right thing. She then flees into the arms of her boyfriend - the prosecutor- and vows to live a more ladylike existence. Today's women lawyers will be both offended and impressed by what these pioneers had to put up with to practice law in 1936.
