Pre-Code Enthusiasts who Check In to this One will Only Find a "Jailbait" Element, and Even that is Handled with Kid Gloves. This is the Movie that Made William Wellman a Star and He is Almost Upstaged by His Secretary, Aline MacMachon as Hickey, with a Natural and Essential Character that is the Adhesive to this Advocates Philandering and Courtroom Shenanigans.
Sidney Fox as the "Young and Dumb" Hick Temp who can't Type but is as Cute as a Button is the Teenage Lust Interest. Hickey, the Ever Watchful Assistant and Real Friend to the Attorney, Reminds Him that "The Law says that anyone under twenty-one can't say yes to anything." But that doesn't Deter William from Trying to Make Time with this Charming Girl.
The Scenes with the Petite Actress are a bit Uncomfortable because the Tall Lawyer is about a Foot and a Half Bigger and the Framing Reflects A Red-Riding Hood or Dracula Image of the Mismatch and the Danger Lurking.
The Movie has Some Surprises in the Courtroom as Well as Concerns with His Criminal Clients that are Abandon in the Third Act as William Reforms. So in the Movie He Goes from Hither to Yon and Back Again as His Attempted Affair Learns the Learned Mouthpiece a Thing of Two.
Overall, a Charming Moralistic Movie that was Well Received at the Time and was a Big Hit. But not with a Notorious Real-Life Lawyer to the Mob, William Fallon, whose Family Sued for Defamation.
