The Case Of The Stuttering Bishop (1937)

An Bishop (Edward McWade) from Australia arrives in America and asks attorney Perry Mason (Donald Woods) to take the case of a woman (Mira McKinney) who was falsely accused of manslaughter many years ago. Based on the novel by Erle Stanley Gardner and directed by William Clemens (NANCY DREW AND THE HIDDEN STAIRCASE). The sixth and final entry in Warners Perry Mason movies is a solid entry. As Mason, Donald Woods is merely adequate but the mystery is often hard to follow, it's good and keeps you involved. As Mason's girl Friday Della Street, the appealing Ann Dvorak isn't given much to do which is a pity as she's probably the best of Dellas in the series. With Anne Nagel, Linda Perry, Craig Reynolds and Frank Faylen.
