Damaged Goods (1914 film)
Damaged Goods is an American silent film directed by Tom Ricketts, starring Richard Bennett. It is based on Eugène Brieux's play Les Avariés about a young couple who contract syphilis. No print of the film is known to exist, making it a lost film. It is believed to have begun the sex hygiene/venereal disease film craze of the 1910s.
The play was adapted into a British silent film Damaged Goods in 1919. A sound film based on the Brieux play, also titled Damaged Goods was directed by Phil Goldstone, released by Grand National Pictures.Cast
