The Lady Refuses	comment	The Lady Refuses is a 1931 film directed by George Archainbaud.Sir Gerald Courtney is a stuffy old rich guy who is worried about his alcoholic wastrel of a son, Russell. Russell, in addition to drinking almost constantly, is spending his time with Berthine, a gold-digging schemer who is looking to bleed him for money.Enter June (Betty Compson), a lovely young woman who is also flat broke and has decided to become a prostitute. She runs away from some suspicious beat cops on her very first night walking the streets, and winds up at Sir Gerald's door. Gerald takes a liking to June, and after chatting for a while, they make an arrangement. June will, for a fee of £1,000 (plus nice clothes, and a temporary stay in a fancy apartment), worm her way into Russell's life with the intent of separating him from Berthine and putting him back on the straight and narrow. It works—but in the meantime, Sir Gerald falls in love with June.Margaret Livingston, who plays Berthine the scheming temptress, played a scheming temptress in the iconic late-silent film Sunrise.
