What happens

The Lady Lies is a 1929 American Pre-Code drama film directed by Hobart Henley, and starring Walter Huston, Claudette Colbert, and Charles Ruggles. As was common during the early sound era, multiple-language versions were shot at the Joinville Studios in Paris for release in their respective markets, including a Swedish version titled The Two of Us.
