Comments on: Warren William as Perry Mason in The Case of the Lucky Legs (1935) http://warrenwilliam.com/perry-mason-case-of-the-lucky-legs-1935/ 1930's & 1940's Film Star Warren William Tribute Site Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:53:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: mndean http://warrenwilliam.com/perry-mason-case-of-the-lucky-legs-1935/comment-page-1/#comment-831 mndean Fri, 09 Jul 2010 16:09:37 +0000 http://warrenwilliam.com/?p=630#comment-831 I got used to both of them. It was easier with Chatterton. Maybe early viewings of Lilly Turner and Dodsworth made me accept her style. I liked Tobin in One Hour With You and The Goose and the Gander, and can tolerate her in Goodbye Again. I like her less in No Time For Comedy. I still prefer the Warner women from the other side of the tracks, so to speak. Joan, Ginger, and Glenda are just fun to watch. I got used to both of them. It was easier with Chatterton.

Oh, I loved Tobin here, she just really gets on my nerves in just about everything else I've seen with her. I'm just not a fan of that upper crust accent, Ruth Chatterton drives me crazy with it too.

I have far more affection for this Mason than some friends, though even I have trouble with that overheard phone call. I do disagree about Genevieve Tobin. From what I've seen she was typecast as the nasty little cheat early in her film career and didn't shake it off, ever (she was still doing that role in her last film). She never seemed to like who she was married to. This is one of her few performances I've seen where she's allowed to be funny.
