 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lawyer Man is a 1932 film directed by William Dieterle.Anton Adam (William Powell) is a New York lawyer. He's a man of the people, taking as clients poor folks and immigrants from Manhattan's Lower East Side. He runs a solo practice, helped only by his loyal secretary, Olga (Joan Blondell). Olga is in love with Anton but, since this is the movies, he hasn't noticed.Anton wins a big case against a fancy white shoe law firm. The lawyer he beat, one Granville Bentley, is impressed enough to take Anton on as a partner. Just like that, Anton and Olga are moving up in the world. Bentley's sister, Barbara, starts making romantic gestures towards Anton, but Anton starts dating Broadway actress Virginia St. Johns. Olga does not like this, not at all.Meanwhile, the idealistic Anton starts butting heads with corrupt political boss John Gilmurry. Gilmurry tries to recruit Anton into his machine but Anton refuses. As it turns out, Anton has made enemies, and those enemies have laid a trap.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
