Sandy is a 1926 American silent drama film directed by Harry Beaumont and starring Madge Bellamy, Leslie Fenton, and Harrison Ford.[1][2]

Plot

[edit]

As described in a film magazine,[3] after the breakdown of her automobile places her in a compromising position, jazz-mad Sandy McNeil marries the wealthy Ben Murillo. Her husband’s cruelty results in the death of their baby. Sandy goes away for a rest and meets architect Ramon Worth, becoming so infatuated that she discards convention and lives with him happily until Judith Moore, a woman with whom he had an affair, appears. Sandy leaves and goes to her cousin Isabel McNeil, and soon has her cousin’s sweetheart Douglas Keith in love with her. Ramon appears and, when the young woman refuses to return to him, he shoots her and then kills himself. The cousin’s sweetheart Douglas decides to take the blame and is tried for murder. Sandy, learning of this, gets out of her sick bed to go to court and confesses. She reunites her cousin Isabel with her sweetheart and then dies, as the excitement was too much for her strength.
