What happens

Slightly Used is a 1927 American synchronized sound comedy film directed by Archie Mayo and written by C. Graham Baker and Jack Jarmuth. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the Vitaphone sound-on-disc process. The film stars May McAvoy, Conrad Nagel, Robert Agnew, Audrey Ferris, Anders Randolf and Eugenie Besserer. The film was released by Warner Bros. on September 3, 1927. The film's plot is based on the 1911 play Green Stockings by A. E. W. Mason. The film was remade as an all-talkie in 1930 as The Flirting Widow at First National Pictures, by then a subsidiary of Warner Bros. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
