Damaged Goods (1914) was an American silent short film directed by Tom Ricketts and Richard Bennett, starring Richard Bennett. It was based on Eugène Brieux's play Les Avariés (1901) about a young couple who contract syphilis. No print of the film is known to exist, and Damaged Goods is considered to be a lost film.
Another film based on the Brieux play, also titled Damaged Goods (1937) was directed by Phil Goldstone, released by Grand National Pictures, and was closer to an exploitation film about premarital sex without mentioning venereal disease.[1]
