Sporting Life (1925 film)

Sporting Life is a 1925 American silent comedy drama film directed by Maurice Tourneur and a remake of Tourneur's 1918 film of the same title based on Seymour Hicks's popular play.

[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine review,[4] Lord Woodstock loses money as the backer of a musical show and hopes to recoup his losses by betting on his protégé, Joe Lee, a pugilist, and by winning the Derby with his horse, Lady Love.

Olive Carteret, an actress, tries to win Woodstock, but he is in love with Nora, the daughter of his trainer.

Lady Love wins the race, and after Phillips is arrested for Lee’s murder, Woodstock and Nora are free to marry.

Once thought lost, a print of Sporting Life survives at UCLA Film and Television Archive.
