is a 1934 American crime drama film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Paul Muni and Glenda Farrell.
A newspaper editor is demoted to writing an advice column for refusing to go along with the crowd in declaring a missing lawyer to be a thief.
[2] Newspaper editor Brad learns that Frank J. Canfield, the head of the governor's investigating committee, has disappeared, along with a large sum of money.
He refuses to print the story on the front page of the newspaper because there is no proof that Canfield, an honest and prominent lawyer, fled with the missing funds.
[3] The story on which the screenplay was based, written by Roy Chanslor, was remade into the movie The House Across the Street, albeit with a different screenwriter, in 1949.
