1927 silent. A wild jazz-loving and boozing wife Roxie Hart, kills her boyfriend in cold blood after he leaves her.
The plot of the film is drawn from the play Chicago by Maurine Dallas Watkins which was in turn based on the true story of Beulah Annan, fictionalized as Roxie Hart. The silent film adds considerably to the material in Watkins' play. Roxie's husband Amos Hart has a much more sympathetic and active role in the film than in the play or in the subsequent musical.
