1/10
Quite antiquated...even for 1931

"The Right of Way" is the story of a glib lawyer (Conrad Nagel) who is also a mess outside the court. His brother-in-law is a thief and Nagel's character is beaten half to death. He has amnesia and ends up being cared for by some decent folks. And, as he recovers his memory, the lawyer realizes how bad his life was before his beating.

I had a very hard time watching "The Right of Way" because the film was just terrible...mostly due to very antiquated dialog and horrible overacting. It also features the worst French-Canadian accent I have ever heard--making accents in "Dudley Dooright" seem brilliant by comparison! How anyone gave this film anything better than a 3 or 4 is shocking! Heck, how you could give it anything more than a 2 is ALSO shocking! Among the worst dialog and acting I can recall...much worse than Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space"!
