THE JURY

by Gerald Bullett ‧ RELEASE DATE: July 1, 1935

Darn good reading, built on somewhat the skeleton of Thayer's bell-ringer Thirteen Men, which stood on its own feet as a good story, without his later emphasis on bawdiness...The lives and backgrounds of the English men and women who make up the jury trying a man for the murder of his wife given in absorbing detail, together with the story of the man, his wife, her lover and the woman he loves -- and the newspaper man who is friend of all. The court scene -- twisted testimony -- the jury room -- a tightly knit, well-constructed, swift moving tale. A good bet for summer sales and rentals.
