Interesting facts
Madame X is a 1937 American melodrama, starring Gladys George and directed by Sam Wood. Previously filmed for American release at least three times, the film is based on the 1908 play La femme X by French playwright Alexandre Bisson (1848–1912), translated into English for the American stage in 1910 by John Raphael. Some sources also list Gustav Machaty as an uncredited director, but he was replaced by Wood and it is unclear if any scenes he directed are in the released film. This version of the story includes several significant changes from the original play and earlier films.
