In Every Woman's Life is a 1924 American drama film directed by Irving Cummings and written by Albert S. Le Vino.
[1][2][3][4] As described in a review in a film magazine,[5] Count Coti (McDermott), wealthy French sportsman whose horse is defeated by one owned by his guest Charles Carlton (Holmes), an American, arranges for a return match.
On board the boat is Julian Greer (Hughes) whom she really loves, and whose grouchy father has broken off the match.
Coti dives to his rescue and is hit on the neck by the lifeboat and paralyzed.
Coti, who can neither move or speak, manages by a supreme effort of will to demonstrate that he was able to grasp a pistol in the bed and fire the shot that killed Carlton.
