"The Trespasser" (1929) is a film which tells the story of a "kept woman" who maintains a lavish life style with the help of her lover. It stars Gloria Swanson, Robert Ames, Purnell Pratt, Henry B. Walthall, and Wally Albright. The movie was written and directed by Edmund Goulding and released by United Artists.

It earned an Academy Award nomination for (Gloria Swanson) in her talkie debut. The film was written and directed by Edmund Goulding and was first filmed as a silent film. A talkie version was quickly made and was a smash hit for its superstar, Gloria Swanson. In 1937, Goulding remade the film as "That Certain Woman" with Bette Davis and Henry Fonda.

Sadly for Swanson, "The Trespasser" proved to be her only hit talkie. Subsequent followups like "What a Widow!", "Indiscreet", "Tonight or Never", "Perfect Understanding" and "Music in the Air" all proved to be box-office flops. "The Trespasser" was nonetheless an important film for Swanson, following the disastrous "Queen Kelly" and the hit "Sadie Thompson". This was Swanson's first Oscar nomination. Despite the disappointments following "The Trespasser," Swanson was well remembered by Billy Wilder, a writer on "Music in the Air", when he was casting the part of Norma Desmond in his masterpiece "Sunset Boulevard" (1950).
