Expensive Women is a 1931 American pre-Code drama film produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film was directed by silent film veteran Hobart Henley and stars Dolores Costello. It was Costello's final film as a leading lady and star for Warners, which she had been since 1925. She retired to be the wife of John Barrymore and to raise their family. Costello would return to films five years later after a long hiatus and the end of her marriage to Barrymore, but never regained the luster she enjoyed as a Warners star.[1][2]
A print is preserved in the Library of Congress collection.[3]
