“Dishonored Lady” (1947) is a film starring Hedy Lamarr, Dennis O’Keefe, John Loder, William Lundigan, and Natalie Schafer, directed by Robert Stevenson, and released by United Artists. The film is based on the play Dishonored Lady (1930) by Edward Sheldon and Margaret Ayer Barnes.
Madeleine Damien is the fashion editor of a slick Manhattan magazine by day and a lively party girl by night. Unfortunately, the pressures of her job, including kowtowing to a hefty advertiser, and her bad luck with men are driving her to a breakdown. She seeks the help of a psychiatrist, and under his orders, quits her job and moves into a smaller flat under a new identity. She becomes interested in painting and a handsome neighbor. He soon finds out about her past when an ex-suitor implicates her in a murder.

This is the first time I've watched a movie starring Hedy Lamarr, and it was a treat. She was fabulous and she and Susan Heyward remind of each other in physical looks. I would make a comment about the ending, but I hate when people do that, so I won't spoil it for the next person. This was a great movie, thanx for sharing!
Excellent movie
This plot needs Weill-Gershwin songs.
Natalie Schafer! Too bad she was shipwrecked on that desert island for so long.
Hey that landlady is the wicked witch from the NORTH on the wizard of OZ
Heddy Lamarr is beautiful
11-9-14 Hedy Lamarr, she any relation to Hedley Lamarr? Very enjoyable movie, especially after all the duds I have seen lately. Hedy was a very beautiful lady, as well as a very intelligent one. A combination that is rare, and hard to beat. Just a little fwiw, today is also the 100th anniversary of Hedy's birth. RIP Hedy.
I dont rember that at all….
I can understand every one talking about the lovely Hedy Lamar, she was no more lovelier than my favorite girl Gail Russell who played in the angel and the badman with John Wayne, but I am surprised no one is speaking on the great actor Dennis okeefe playing along side of Hedy in this movie. When I was a 10year old girl I had a crush on him. He was Avery good actor. If you knew about him like I did you would know that. And he was handsome too.thank you for listening Maria is my name.
I love these old movies. These were the days when the movie stars were naturally beautiful and handsome. The love scenes were so mysterious and beautiful!
I love Hedy Lamarr. She was so beautiful and a good actress. This movie was very good. I wish she'd made more color movies though.
hedy lamarr was very beautiful but a bad actress.
