Guilty Hands (1931)

** (out of 4)

A lawyer (Lionel Barrymore) believes murder can be justifiable under certain circumstances and he takes his chance when he daughter gets ready to marry the wrong guy. This mystery is somewhat interesting considering when know Barrymore is the killer yet we get to watch him investigate the murder. Barrymore is pretty good in the role, although he goes over the top a few times like no other actor can (well, perhaps John was better at it). The ending also has a nice, if silly touch but the rest of the film is forgettable with way too much dialogue for its own good.
