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. | |

Love Dodecahedron | |
The Lady Refuses / int_4523420b | comment |
Love Dodecahedron: There's Sir Gerald and Russell, both of whom fall for lovely June. There's also Berthine, the money-grubbing schemer who, it seems, may be falling for Russell for real. And then there's Nikolai, Berthine's boyfriend and partner in crime, who starts to get very jealous when he comes to believe that Berthine has feelings for Russell. | |

Sexy Backless Outfit: The Fanservice Extra model demonstrating dresses for Sir Gerald at the store shows off a dress that is cut down almost all the way to her tailbone in the back. Berthine wears a sexy backless dress towards the end, when she's getting dolled up to seduce Russell again. | |

The Lady Refuses / int_b97c2cfb | comment |
Maybe Ever After: The film ends with June rejecting Sir Gerald, tearing up the £1,000 check he wrote her before returning to a life of street walking. But he hasn't given up, saying to Russell (in the last line of dialogue) "Wherever she goes my boy, I'll follow." | |
