A successful lawyer with a taste for alcohol tries to break up a relationship between his daughter and a gangster who he helped acquit. Starring: Norma Shearer, Lion Barrymore, Leslie Howard and Clark Gable

This pre-code film became famous for a good number of reasons. It marked leading lady Norma Shearer's first role, following her Oscar winning performance in "THE DIVORCEE" and solidified her reputation for starring in provocative films about modern women in the early 1930s. The movie not only proved to be the first time American film audiences took notice of future star Clark Gable, but it also marked the first time that the latter would co-star with Leslie Howard. The two actors reunited some eight years later in the 1939 Oscar winner, "GONE WITH THE WIND". "A FREE SOUL" also became famous for a scene that featured a monologue from Lionel Barrymore that may have led to the actor's Best Actor Academy Award.
