Easy Virtue is a 1928 British silent romance film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Isabel Jeans, Franklin

Dyall and Ian Hunter. It is loosely based on the play Easy Virtue by Nol Coward.

PlotThe heroine Larita (Isabel Jeans) is married to a drunken brute. After he catches her almost being seduced by the

artist who has been painting her picture, he brings suit for divorce on the grounds of adultery. Since she is now a

disgraced woman of "easy virtue", Larita leaves for the French Riviera, where she meets and marries a rich younger

man, John Whittaker (Robin Irvine). She does not tell him about her past, and they return to England to meet his

family. His mother strongly disapproves of her, suspecting Larita of immorality.

Larita's past comes to light and she decides to allow John to divorce her so he can marry Sarah, a local girl whom his

mother had in mind as a suitable match.
