The Veiled Woman
- April 14, 1929 (1929-04-14)
The Veiled Woman is a 1929 American silent drama film directed by Emmett J. Flynn and starring Lia Torá, Lupita Tovar and Walter McGrail, also featuring Bela Lugosi.[1] This film was initially advertised as being a sound film, but at the last minute, the producer decided to film it as a silent instead.
Plot
The film is told in flashbacks by Nanon (Lia Tora) who tells a virginal young girl (Lupita Tovar) four stories of men she knew in her past, one of whom she accidentally killed in self defense while working as a roulette girl in a casino. Nanon fled the scene of the murder. Later on, Nanon married a well-to-do socialite named Pierre, but he left her when he learned about her unsavory past. In the end, Nanon is unexpectedly reunited with Pierre, who is now working for a living as a cab driver.
