The Lady Lies (film)

The Lady Lies is a 1929 American Pre-Code drama film directed by Hobart Henley, and starring Walter Huston, Claudette Colbert, and Charles Ruggles. As was common during the early sound era, multiple-language versions were shot at the Joinville Studios in Paris for release in their respective markets, including a Swedish version titled The Two of Us.

Plot

Children of a widower who is having an affair with a salesgirl try to break it up, but are won over by the young woman.

Cast

Filming locations

The Paramount Studios at 5555 Melrose Ave., Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.

Censorship

When The Lady Lies was released, many states and cities in the United States had censor boards that could require cuts or other eliminations before the film could be shown. When the film exchange failed to notify Chicago theaters of cuts required by the Chicago Board of Censors, the theaters were forced to advertise the film as "pink" or adults only. In Pennsylvania, the censor board required the insertion of an intertitle stating that Charlie Tyler and Ann Gardner had gotten married prior to their going to their love nest.
