'Sue My Lawyer' is one of those quirky comedies from the late 30s that really captures the spirit of the time. Harry, our protagonist, is a guy without any legal credentials, but boy, does he have the ambition to annoy the District Attorney, O.T. Hill, for a job. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that adds to its charm, allowing for some delightful scenes filled with misunderstandings and absurd situations. The performances have this light-hearted energy that makes it feel both nostalgic and fresh. The practical effects, while modest, serve the comedic moments well, and there's a sort of loose spontaneity that gives the film a unique character.
'Sue My Lawyer' has seen limited releases over the years, making copies somewhat scarce. The film's charm lies in its off-kilter humor and the dynamic between Harry and O.T. Hill. Collectors often appreciate the unique tone and the historical context it offers about the comedy genre in that era. There’s definitely a niche interest for this one among enthusiasts, especially those who enjoy exploring lesser-known titles from the 1930s.
