Damaged Lives is an
American exploitation film produced by
Columbia Pictures and directed by
Edgar G. Ulmer about a couple that contracts a
venereal disease. Filmed in 1933, this cautionary tale was not released in America until
1937. The film involves an extramarital encounter that nearly leads the wife of the main character into killing herself and her husband. The film was produced under the name
Weldon Pictures, because Columbia did not want to be associated with the topic of the film.
Along with the controversial subject matter, this is also noteworthy for containing one of the earliest filmed
nude scenes in a sequence where a group of fun-loving women strip naked and go skinny dipping.
