The Cowboy Counsellor
A con man posing as a lawyer tries to sell copies of a phony law book. Things get serious when he has to defend a young man falsely accused of robbery.
My takeA charming period crime caper where a fast-talking con man gets in over his head. Perfect for when you want something lean, witty, and unexpectedly earnest—the kind of old Hollywood picture that sneaks a moral punch beneath its smooth talking.
