Time For Another Trailer

This one's for a 1935 Warner Brothers picture "The Case of the Lucky Legs," which starred Warren William as Perry Mason, with Genevieve Tobin (as Perry's secretary Della Street), Lyle Talbot, and Patricia Ellis.

Frankly, this entry, the closest of the six Perry Masons produced by Warners between 1934 and 1937 to be considered a screwball comedy with almost nothing in common with the Raymond Burr-headlined television series that ran from 1957 to 1966.
