The Veiled Woman is a 1929 American Synchronized sound drama film directed by Emmett J. Flynn and starring Lia Torá, Lupita Tovar and Walter McGrail, also featuring Bela Lugosi.[1] While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-film Movietone process. This film was initially advertised as being an All-Talking sound film, but at the last minute, the producer decided to film it as a Synchronized sound film.

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.
