Slightly Honorable

About This Movie

Slightly Honorable is a curious blend of comedy and mystery that really captures the quirky atmosphere of late-30s cinema. The pacing is brisk, moving through the lawyer’s escapades with a certain charm, even if the plot occasionally wobbles. The framing of a lawyer accused of murder is rather engaging, and you get a nice mix of witty dialogue and light-hearted moments amid the tension. The performances have this delightful layer of sincerity that grounds the absurdity, making you root for the protagonist. It's not your typical whodunit, and that's what makes it distinctive—there's a playful tone that keeps things lively, despite the serious stakes.

Slightly Honorable has had a somewhat checkered release history, with a few prints floating around but none that are particularly abundant. Collectors often seek out this title due to its unique mix of genres and its offbeat narrative style. As it stands, the film's scarcity adds to its allure, with interest in the more obscure comedies of the era growing steadily. Keep an eye out for any special screenings or restorations, as they tend to be rare gems in the collector community.
