The Brat is a 1919 American silent drama film produced by and starring Alla Nazimova and directed by Herbert Blache.

The film was released by Metro Pictures, who had Nazimova under contract, and is based on Maude Fulton's 1917 Broadway play in which she starred.

[1][2][3][4][5] As described in a film magazine,[6] the Brat (Nazimova), a chorus girl known by no other name, is discharged from the Summer Garden chorus when she refuses to submit to the advances of Stephen Forrester (Foss), a young waster.

At court she is found by MacMillan Forrester (Bryant), her prosecutor's elder brother, who is a novelist in search of an underworld character to study.

Stephen then makes a clean breast of the affair which exonerates the Brat, and MacMillan's fiancee releases him to marry the woman he has learned to love.
