Hat, Coat, and Glove

Hat, Coat, And Glove finds criminal lawyer Ricardo Cortez and artist John Beal having a lot in common including the women they see. Which includes the very unstable Dorothy Burgess who commits suicide while in Cortez's company.

But it's Beal that is arrested for her murder and put on trial. Barbara Robbins exacts a promise from Cortez to not get her involved and he agrees to defend Beal.

Every actor loves a courtroom film and this one gives Cortez a chance to shine. He gives a smooth polished performance as a smooth polished lawyer. In fact as per the title wardrobe plays a great part in the outcome of the trial.

Margaret Hamilton who is a milliner and just happens to be in court when an expert on lady's hats is needed gives a really great performance when Cortez questions here. She really stands out in this film.

One of Ricardo Cortez's best talkie films without a doubt.
