The Scoundrel (1935) is a drama film directed by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, and starring Noel Coward, Julie Haydon, Stanley Ridges, and Lionel Stander. It was Coward's film debut, aside from a bit role in a silent film. It deals with supernatural redemption in a way rather similar to Ferenc Molnar's Liliom, and drew inspiration from the life of publisher Horace Liveright, who had died in September 1933.
