Дело о счастливых ножках

The character of Perry Mason feels so iconic and sharp—I'm curious what inspired his personality and approach to solving crimes.

The blend of legal drama and lighthearted banter made the story really engaging. I wonder if Gardner intended it to be as entertaining as it was suspenseful.

I'm interested in whether the courtroom scenes reflect real legal practices of the time or if Gardner took creative liberties to keep the story lively.
