Circumstantial Evidence (1935)

Circumstantial Evidence (1935)
Chesterfield Pictures
March 30, 1935
Dramedy?, Romcom?

This is so all over the place tonally-- the banter about the death penalty, the banter about working women, the romantic rival who has a freaking skull next to his reading lamp, etc.-- I was tempted to just keep watching to see where it'd go next.  But not tempted enough.  Charles Lamont directed, a dozen years after his film career started and a dozen years before the Ma & Pa Kettle series.  (This is about three years after the also strange War Babies with Shirley Temple, but much less cringey.)
