Evidence is a 1929 Pre-Code crime drama film produced and distributed by the Warner Brothers. It is based on the 1914 Broadway play Evidence by J. duRocher MacPherson and L. duRocher MacPherson. This early talkie was directed by John G. Adolfi and starred Pauline Frederick and Lowell Sherman. While this film is lost, its soundtrack, recorded by the Vitaphone process, survives.
Myra Stanhope Wilborne (Pauline Frederick) is compromised in the eyes of her husband Cyril Wilborne (William Courtenay) by a man, Norman Pollock (Lowell Sherman), claiming to having an affair with her and offering a letter as proof. They are divorced and her husband is granted custody of their young son. Her innocence is finally proven, but not before she is forced into social exile in England where she becomes a notorious woman.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
