A Lady's Morals is a 1930 American pre-Code film directed by Sidney Franklin. Its plot is a highly fictionalized account of opera singer Jenny Lind. The film features Grace Moore as Lind, Reginald Denny as a lover and Wallace Beery as P. T. Barnum. It contains operatic arias by Moore.
Wallace Beery would play Barnum again four years later in The Mighty Barnum (1934), with Virginia Bruce as Jenny Lind.
In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Mordaunt Hall called the film's title "meaningless and unsuitable" and wrote: "This story, one of half-truths and fiction, ... is a conventional narrative and although Mr. Franklin delivers some imaginatively conceived sequences, there are others that are emphatically old fashioned in design. ... It is too mindful of the old things in motion pictures."[1]
The film was remade as the 1932 American French-language film titled Jenny Lind.
