The Reckless Lady is a 1926 American silent drama film directed by Howard Higgin and starring Belle Bennett, Lois Moran, James Kirkwood, and Lowell Sherman.[1]
As described in a film magazine review, the attentions of Feodor, a Russian, to Mrs. Fleming results in her husband, Colonel Fleming, leaving her. The wife retains the child Sylvia. Years later Mrs. Fleming is gambling in Monte Carlo. Feodor reappears and makes love to Sylvia. The American Ralph Hillier was her other suiter. Mrs. Fleming attempts to commit suicide but is saved by Ralph and her husband. The Colonel pursues Feodor, who leaps over a cliff. The elder Fleming couple are reunited, and Sylvia accepts Ralph.
