Billy Bevan & Jimmy Finlayson FOR THE DEFENSE 1930

Postby Ed Watz » Tue Aug 01, 2023 6:20 am

William Powell-Kay Francis Paramount drama with a cute silent cameo by Billy Bevan at the 21-minute mark. Jimmy Finlayson crops up 43 minutes in, a substantial straight role in which Fin loses his Scottish burr. (William McCall and Rolfe Sedan spotted early on in the juror box.)
