Trivia:
Gloria Swanson originally hired writer/director Edmund Goulding to help her complete Queen Kelly, the unfinished silent epic she'd started with Erich von Stroheim. After he'd spent months editing Von Stroheim's footage, Goulding persuaded Swanson to make The Trespasser instead. He wrote the script in three weeks, the movie was in theaters by the end of the year, and Swanson recouped enough money to pay off Queen Kelly's backers. moreSoundtrack:

Here Swanson plays the "other woman" - kept by her employer. It's typical of the genre known as "women's pictures." Swanson does an excellent job in her first talkie and earned her second Oscar nom for her work. It's fun to see a blatant continuity error -she enters the bathroom to freshen wearing a bob cut and emerges with long hair. Archive print in the George Eastman House, Rochester, N.Y.
