Counsel's Opinion

About This Movie

Counsel's Opinion is one of those early 30s comedies that has a certain charm, thanks to its fogbound London setting. It’s got that typical light-hearted banter mixed with the tension of an unexpected romance. The performances are engaging, especially the chemistry between Logan and Leslie, which feels both spontaneous and scripted at times. Pacing is leisurely yet purposeful, allowing the foggy atmosphere to add to the intrigue of their night together. The practical effects of the fog really set a mood that's somewhat rare for comedies of its era, giving it a distinctive visual aesthetic. It’s not groundbreaking by any means, but it captures a unique slice of pre-war British humor.

This film has had a pretty limited release history, making it somewhat scarce on physical media. It's been a point of interest for collectors who appreciate early British comedies and the unique visual storytelling of the era. Many fans seek out this title not just for its comedic moments, but also for its atmospheric setting that captures a specific historical context. Finding a decent print can be a bit of a challenge, which adds to its collectibility.
