The Red Kimono
''The Red Kimono'' is a 1925 American silent film drama about prostitution produced by Dorothy Davenport (billed as Mrs. Wallace Reid) and starring Priscilla Bonner.
==Production background==
The film is notable today for being one of the few independent productions produced and written by women. This is the third of Davenport's "social conscience" releases, preceded by ''Human Wreckage'' (1923) on the topic of drug addiction (released five months after Wallace Reid's death from morphine), and ''Broken Laws'' (1924) about excessive mother-love.
The film is based on a real case of prostitution that took place in New Orleans in 1917. This film, being very frank about the real case, used the real name of the woman played by Priscilla Bonner who as a consequence sued producer Dorothy Davenport for a hefty sum in court and won. The case, ''Melvin v Reid'' has been cited recently in the emerging "right to be forgotten" cases around the world as an early example of one's right to leave a past they wish to forget. In the ruling of the California Appellate Court (Melvin v. Reid, 112 Cal.App. 285, 297 P. 91 (1931)) the Court stated, "any person living a life of rectitude has that right to happiness which includes a freedom from unnecessary attacks on his character, social standing or reputation."
As with Davenport's earlier ''Human Wreckage'' in 1924, this film was banned in the United Kingdom by the British Board of Film Censors in 1926.〔(''The Red Kimono'' at the silentera.com database )〕
