Der Mann aus Philadelphia (1959)
Anthony J. Lawrence, unehelicher Sohn einer Witwe, weiß sich auszudrücken und kennt die richtigen Leute, um in die Geldaristokratie von Philadelphia aufzusteigen. Über seiner Karriere vernachlässigt er seine Geliebte Joan. Gute Beziehungen verhelfen Lawrence zu einem einträglichen Job als Anwalt in Steuerfragen. Als Anthonys Jugendfreund Chester A. Gwynn unter Mordanklage vor Gericht gestellt wird, muss sich Lawrence entscheiden, ob er ihn verteidigen soll, obwohl er Gefahr läuft, seine Gönner zu verlieren. Schließlich entscheidet er sich für den Freund.
