Two Against the World (1932 film)

Two Against the World is a 1932 American pre-Code drama film directed by Archie Mayo and starring Constance Bennett, Neil Hamilton and Helen Vinson.

Bob, Adele's drunkard brother, remains hostile, however, and lies, telling Dave that Dell invited him only to make a fool of him.

When Dell pleads with Vic to go easy on her brother, he reveals that he is interested in her, having just broken off an affair with her married sister Corinne.

Unaware that Bob is the killer, District Attorney Mills agrees to keep the Hamilton name out of the scandal, but public opinion and newspaper reporter Segall will not let the case be forgotten.

Blaming Dave for the uproar, Mills forces the lawyer to take over the case as a newly appointed deputy district attorney by threatening to ruin his career.

When she is called to the witness stand, however, Dave cannot bring himself to cross examine her too closely and accepts her unconvincing story.
