Ladies Of The Jury - 1932 - 6/10
Long, long before Twelve Angry Men there was this gem.
The elderly rich man has been murdered. Allegedly by his trophy bride.
Who was an ex-chorus girl, and she is French!
Two strikes and the jury has made up its mind … save for one well-heeled biddy.
Edna May Oliver is almost insufferable at the beginning, but her character settles down.
There is a jury panel, lawyers, judge, bailiff, witnesses, and by the end one has a quick sketch of personalities.
Pre-Code comedy is barely an hour, but is packed with details, jokes, innuendo.
