Wonder of Women is a 1929 American sound part-talkie pre-Code drama film directed by Clarence Brown and starring Lewis Stone, Leila Hyams, and Peggy Wood. While the film has a few talking sequences, the majority of the film features a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. It was nominated for Best Writing at the 2nd Academy Awards.[1][2]
Based on the 1927 German novel Die Frau des Steffen Tromholt by Hermann Sudermann, the film is now lost with only sound discs surviving at UCLA.[3]
