It was also known by the alternative title A Scandal in Paris. It was based on a British play by Edward Hemmerde and Francis Neilson. The wife of a British aristocratic politician, who is neglected by her husband, resists an attempt to break them up. When her husband discovers what he mistakenly believes to be a dalliance with another man he begins divorce proceedings. Eventually the truth comes out and the couple reconcile. The film was not considered one of Wiene's greatest achievements, but he was praised for directing with his usual competence while Damita's performance as Lady Admaston was hailed. ## Credits - **Director:** [Robert Wiene](https://cinepixo.com/people/robert-wiene) - **Screenplay:** [Edward Hemmerde](https://cinepixo.com/people/edward-hemmerde) - **Producer:** [Hermann Fellner](https://cinepixo.com/people/hermann-fellner), [Josef Somlo](https://cinepixo.com/people/josef-somlo) - **Director of Photography:** [Otto Kanturek](https://cinepixo.com/people/otto-kanturek), [Bruno Timm](https://cinepixo.com/people/bruno-timm) ## Cast - [Helene von Bolvary](https://cinepixo.com/people/helene-von-bolvary) - [Lili Damita](https://cinepixo.com/people/lili-damita) - [Vivian Gibson](https://cinepixo.com/people/vivian-gibson) - [Vladimir Gajdarov](https://cinepixo.com/people/vladimir-gajdarov) - [Arthur Pusey](https://cinepixo.com/people/arthur-pusey) - [Ferdinand von Alten](https://cinepixo.com/people/ferdinand-von-alten) - [Johannes Riemann](https://cinepixo.com/people/johannes-riemann) - [Leopold Kramer](https://cinepixo.com/people/leopold-kramer) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
