A Lady's Morals is a 1930 American Pre-Code film offering a highly fictionalized account of singer Jenny Lind. The movie features opera diva Grace Moore as Lind, Reginald Denny as a lover, and Wallace Beery as P. T. Barnum; Beery would play Barnum again four years later in The Mighty Barnum. The film contains some fine opera arias by Moore and was directed by Sidney Franklin.
According to the Internet Movie Database, the film Jenny Lind is an alternate French foreign-language version of A Lady's Morals; only two actors are listed in both versions (Grace Moore and Paul Porcasi), and different actors are listed for PT Barnum (Wallace Beery, André Berley), as well as different directors and other crew.
Wallace Beery would play Barnum again four year later in The Mighty Barnum (1934), with Virginia Bruce as Jenny Lind.
