Auction History Result COUNSELLOR AT LAW LC '33  Lease from Hershenson/Allen ArchiveAn Original Vintage Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) Counsellor-at-Law, the classic 1933 William Wyler New York City courtroom Jewish lawyer legal melodrama ("John Barrymore in the sensational stage success by Elmer Rice."; about a very hectic day in the life of a poor Jewish man who becomes a lawyer and gets a top Park Avenue law practice; he is almost disbarred, and he discovers his wife is having an affair, but things improve greatly at the climax!) starring John Barrymore (as George Simon), Bebe Daniels (as Rexy, Barrymore's secretary who is in love with him from afar), Doris Kenyon, Onslow Stevens, Isabel Jewell, Melvyn Douglas, Mayo Methot, Thelma Todd, Vincent Sherman (as the anarchist who doesn't want Barrymore to defend him), "and a great cast". Note that the original Broadway play was a major success that starred Paul Muni. However, Hollywood did not want to make the movie with him, because he was not, to their mind, a big enough star, so they went with Barrymore instead, which is ironic, since Muni was Jewish, as the character was, and Barrymore, of course, was not.
