A Strange Transgressor

A Strange Transgressor is a 1917 silent drama film starring Louise Glaum, J. Barney Sherry, and Colin Chase.

Directed by Reginald Barker and produced by Thomas H. Ince, the screenplay was adapted by J. G. Hawks from the story by John Lynch.

The man she lives with while facing the scorn of society, famous surgeon Dr. John Hampton (played by Sherry), supports her in lavish style.

His new wife, Paula, goes to Hampton and convinces him to operate on David, which saves the boys life.

The Chicago Board of Censors cut two intertitles, "A slave of the senses" and "My mistress", and issued the film, due to its subject matter, an "adults only" permit.
