Easy Virtue (1928) is a silent film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and loosely based on a play by Noël Coward.
The 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 takes to the French Riviera where she meets and marries a rich younger man, John Whittaker (Robin Irvine.) She doesnt tell him about her past and they return to England to meet his family. His mother strongly disapproves of her, suspecting Larita of immorality.
Meanwhile, Johns mother has looked into her past........
