Synopsis

A Free Soul is a 1931 American pre-Code drama film directed by Clarence Brown, starring Norma Shearer, and featuring Leslie Howard, Lionel Barrymore, James Gleason, and Clark Gable. The film became famous for Barrymore's climactic courtroom monologue, and he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance. Gable made such an impression in the role of a gangster who bullies Shearer that he was catapulted from supporting player to leading man.
