Hardboiled Rose is a 1929 American sound part-talkie romantic drama film directed by F. Harmon Weight and released by Warner Bros.
A Southern belle (Loy) must work in a gambling house to pay off her father's debts, which drove him to suicide.
Loy's early talkies in Technicolor were The Desert Song (1929, Warner Brothers' first movie released in color), The Show of Shows (1929) and Under a Texas Moon (1930, the second all color-all talking movie to be filmed outdoors).
In 1934, Myrna Loy made two movies with MGM that would make her a big star for the next 20 years, Manhattan Melodrama and The Thin Man.
According to TV Guide.com's review of Hardboiled Rose, the talking sequences were added to the movie later in production.
