Hardboiled (1929)

Directed by Ralph Ince

Overview

Chorus girl Teena Johnson may be “hard-boiled,” but she’s no golddigger. Thus, when the father of her wealthy sweetheart Kyle Stannard tries to buy her off, Sally refuses the money. She sticks by Kyle even after he is disinherited and forced to go to work. The financial strain on the young couple’s marriage eventually takes its toll, and before long they separate, with Sally returning to the chorus line to square her husband’s debts.
