Wonder of Women

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.

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.
