Pantomime was downgraded, and speech upgraded, and changing language was no longer a matter of replacing titles. For a few years, the studios produced versions of their films in several languages, often with different casts. For Hal Roach, with his star comedians, it was not such an easy proposition. He could replace almost all the cast, but people came to see Laurel & Hardy in any language, and likewise Charley Chase. So he starred these comedians in foreign-language productions of their own movies, and to increase his profits, would fill out the length with songs, variety acts.... in effect, lengthening them from short subjects to features. | 1931 | James Parrott | Short, Comedy | 7.4 (12 votes) | 0 | 20211228 |

| Lawyer's Secret, TheIn my unhealthy quest to view every available Fay Wray film, I picked this one up on the same DVD with ""The Sea God"" - a kind of Fay Wray/Richard Arlen double feature. ""The Sea God"" proved to be the better film as ""The Lawyer's Secret"" was weighed down by excessive staginess and lack of action.The story is of a lawyer choosing between protecting his client (his fiance's brother) or saving an innocent man from hanging. This could have been a compelling script with different actors and more innovative direction. Fay Wray is just fine as the fiance of the lawyer but is given little to do other than look worried. She's still quite a dish, but she never leaves her house until the final scene of the film. It doesn't help that her fiance is twice her age (Brook born in 1887, Fay in 1907) and looks it.There were a couple of decent images in the film, with the jail house scene at the tops of the list. Arlen (the wrongly accused man) is informed that the Governor will not intervene and he is then moved to death row. This is a fairly powerful image, that would have been better played almost silent. Although pretty good in most of the film, Arlen nearly ruins this moment with some misplaced ""acting"".Overall, I'm glad I saw the film, but probably won't be popping it into the DVD player again anytime soon.
