SEE MY LAWYER

Original British 11 inch x 17 inch Trade Advertisement from Kinematograph Weekly for the 1944 Edward F. Cline Musical Comedy SEE MY LAWYER, based on the play by Richard Maibaum and starring Ole Olsen, Chic Johnson, Noah Beery Jr., Lee Patrick, Franklin Pangborn, Edward Brophy and Alan Curtis.

Ole and Chic are comedians employed in a nightclub, but seeking to be released from their contracts to take a better job. But the prissy nightclub owner, B. J. Wagonhorn, refuses to let them go. In reprisal, they start hurling insults at the nightclub patrons… a ploy that soon has them facing multiple lawsuits… to the delight of three struggling attorneys.
