Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesAuthor Erle Stanley Gardner objected so vehemently to what he felt was the miscasting of Ricardo Cortez as Mason, that Warners replaced him with Donald Woods.
- GaffesNear the end, when Mason and his crew are having lunch during a court recess, Della drops her fork on her plate and reaches out across the table to break off some bread (after giving Mason the inadvertent hunch about Stella Kenwood). When the camera cuts back to Mason, Della has fork in hand again, but not the bread.

Commentaire à la une
Bishop to king
Donald Woods takes over the role of Perry Mason in the last of the Mason series that Warner Brothers did in the 30s with Ann Dvorak as Della Street in
The Case Of The Stuttering Bishop. Erle Stanley Gardner's lawyer/sleuth
would have to wait for television and Raymond Burr for its next incarnation.
Edward McWade, a bishop who stutters comes from Australia to see Woods about a possible fraud being perpetrated on millionaire Gordon Oliver regarding a fake granddaughter being foisted upon him. Later on Myra McKinney, Oliver's estranged daughter-in-law is arrested and it's Perry Mason for the defense.
Hamilton Burger played by Charles Wilson and Joseph Crehan as Paul Drake also appear. Burger for his one and only time in the movie series and Drake is a more traditional private eye. Previously Drake was "Spudsy Drake" played for comic relief by Allen Jenkins in previous films.
Viewers of the classic TV series will note that this observes the Perry Mason paradigm about never having guilty clients and the killer being unmasked in court. Previous films strayed from that somewhat.
I have to mention Tom Kennedy who took a leave from the Torchy Blaine series and brought his usual thick as a brick detective character with him. He's a favorite so incredibly droll and so naive.
Watch it for Tom Kennedy alone.
