Includes English, Spanish, and French subtitles. Lawful Larceny (1930) is a pre Code melodrama directed by Lowell Sherman and starring Bebe Daniels as Marion Dorsey, a determined wife who sets out to recover money swindled from her husband by an elegant con artist. Based on Samuel Shipman’s play and released by RKO Radio Pictures, the film turns deception, revenge, and social maneuvering into a fast moving drama of betrayal and counterplay. For viewers interested in early 1930s Hollywood, sophisticated crime melodrama, and transitional talkie era storytelling, Lawful Larceny offers a compact 67 minute feature built around Bebe Daniels, Kenneth Thomson, Olive Tell, and Lowell Sherman, who also reprised a role he had created on Broadway. The film remains a notable remake of the 1923 silent version and a sharp example of early sound era studio drama shaped by wit, scandal, and class tension. Cult Classic Cinema Archive presents classic films as historical works, preserved and shared for educational, cultural, and film history purposes. Some films may contain stereotypes, racism, sexism, offensive language, or other negative depictions that reflect the prejudice and attitudes of the time in which they were made. These depictions were wrong then, and they are wrong now. We do not endorse, excuse, or promote them. However, removing or hiding these moments would risk erasing the truth of history. By presenting these films in their original historical context, viewers can better understand the past, recognize harmful ideas, and continue learning from them so they're not repeated. Our goal is preservation, education, and reflection, not celebration of outdated or harmful views.
