Wedding Rings (film)

Wedding Rings is a 1929 American all-talking sound Pre-Code drama film directed by William Beaudine and starring H.B. Warner, Lois Wilson and Olive Borden. It is considered a lost film. Due to its adult subject matter, the film was banned from being shown by censors in many locations. First National Pictures had previously filmed the story back in 1924 until the title of the source novel, namely, The Dark Swan .

Plot

Eve Quinn, a shallow but attractive debutante, makes a practice of leading men on, then coolly casting them aside for new conquests. She openly boasts that she would find pleasure in taking a man from her sister, Cornelia, who is an art student. When Cornelia falls in love with wealthy clubman Lewis Dike, Eve succeeds in vamping and capturing him; broken-hearted when they marry, Cornelia deliberately introduces Eve to Wilfred Meadows, a playboy with whom she begins a flirtation. Dike soon tires of the modernistic furnishings of their home and the jazz-mad parasites who frequent his drawing room, and he is refreshed by visits to Cornelia. When Dike accidentally learns of Eve's liaison with Wilfred, he realizes his error and is reunited with Cornelia.
