Damaged Goods (1914 film)

Damaged Goods (1914) is an American silent drama film directed by Tom Ricketts, starring Richard Bennett.

It is based on Eugène Brieux's play Les Avariés (1901) about a young couple who contract syphilis.

A sound film based on the Brieux play, also titled Damaged Goods (1937) was directed by Phil Goldstone, released by Grand National Pictures.

[3] According to a 1915 account, audience demand for the film in Detroit was so great that police were required to control the crowds at the theater.

[3] Damaged Goods was re-released in a "new edition" in 1917, perhaps in response to concerns about the spread of venereal disease among World War I soldiers.
