The Beautiful and Damned is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by William A. Seiter and released by Warner Bros.

The film, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1922 novel The Beautiful and Damned, starred Kenneth Harlan and Marie Prevost.

Warner quickly arranged an annullment, and when the publicity surrounding the scandal died down, Prevost and Harlan quietly married.

He later wrote to a friend "It's by far the worst movie I've ever seen in my life-cheap, vulgar, ill-constructed and shoddy.

Warner Bros. destroyed many of its pre-1933 nitrate film negatives in the late 1940s and 1950s due to their decomposition.
