A Lady's Morals is a prime example of highbrow-meets-hokum fluff from the early sound era. Bringing Moore's vibrant voice and charming poise to the screen was an ambitious attempt to launch a new film star and give the new audio technology an exciting workout. The Irving Thalberg production directed by Sidney Franklin is worth the gamble alone for Moore's elegant, clarion-toned Donizetti and Bellini arias. If the plot's fictions (swoony composer Reginald Denny faces blindness as a result of his infatuation) creak, it's one biographical nod - Lind's intersection with showman P.T. Barnum - hits a high note when Wallace Beery barnstorms in near the end. Not a success in it's day, this pleasant curio is a harbinger of the acclaim that a switch of studios (plus an Oscar nomination for One Night of Love) brought Moore three years later.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49209176916210,"sku":"WARA1000639549DVD","price":41.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3144115-3008609.jpg?v=1778879566","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/lady-s-morals-1930-lady-s-morals-1930-dvd-888574474867","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
