Warren William and Aline MacMahon Top The Cast
Warren William and Aline MacMahon star in "The Mouthpiece," a wonderful pre-code film from 1932, Sidney Fox lends excellent support as William's secretary. Perhaps forgotten by many today, this film holds up remarkably well today.
Some reviewers seem determined to get their facts wrong. One calls this a "so- called 'Pre-Code'" picture when in fact Wikipedia has an entire entry on "Pre-Code Hollywood" which covers the years 1927 - 1934. It ended on July 1, 1934. In a review the statement is made that Sidney Fox's death "appears to have been a suicide." This is not true; she did die from an overdose of sleeping pills that authorities ruled "an accident."
