A Free Soul Ratings & Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Designed as star vehicle for Norma Shearer, this sensationalistic melodrama about a brutal gangster (the young Clark Gable) and boozy lawyer could not have been made after 1934, when the rigid Production Code was put in effect.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Despite the talented cast, this one ends up looking preposterous.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
Contains what may be the first instance of the 'If it doesn't fit you must acquit' defense: Barrymore wins Gable's freedom by having the accused man place on top of his head the too-small hat that was found at the scene of the crime.
