Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Trial of Mary Dugan (Spanish: El proceso de Mary Dugan) is a 1931 American drama film directed by Marcel De Sano and Gregorio Martínez Sierra and starring José Crespo, Adrienne D'Ambricourt and Juan de Landa. It is based on Bayard Veiller's play The Trial of Mary Dugan. The film is a Spanish-language version of the 1929 hit The Trial of Mary Dugan. It was decided by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to remake the film for the Spanish market rather than subtitle or dub it as it contained long periods of static talking during the courtroom scenes. A French version and the German The Murder Trial of Mary Dugan were also made. The film re-used the sets designed by Cedric Gibbons for the original 1929 film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
