The Gold Diggers is a Warner Bros. silent comedy film directed by Harry Beaumont with screenplay by Grant Carpenter[2] based on the play The Gold Diggers by Avery Hopwood which ran for 282 performances on Broadway in 1919 and 1920.

Wally Saunders (Johnny Harron) wants to marry chorus girl Violet Dayne (Anne Cornwall), but his uncle, Stephen Lee (Wyndham Standing) thinks that all chorines are gold diggers and refuses to give his approval.

Soon Lee and Jerry fall in love and get married, even after he learns the truth about her, and he gives permission for Wally and Violet to get hitched, too.

[1] With no prints of The Gold Diggers located in any archive it was for decades presumed to be a lost film.

In May 2021, a collector found an incomplete nitrate 35mm Belgian print in England, which has been uploaded to YouTube.
