Ecstasy (1933, Extase)
Lamarr (Kiesler) makes film history in the altogether in this Austrian-Czech production directed by Gustav Machaty. Supposedly one of the first nude scenes in cinema history.

Tortilla Flat (1942)

 White Cargo (1942)
Lamarr in hot love scenes in Africa. With Walter Pidgeon, Frank Morgan, Richard Carlson. A remake of the 1929 original. VHS > Buy the Video
The Heavenly Body (1943)
William Powell plays Lamarr's jealous astronomer husband. Leonard Maltin: "Hedy is heavenly, but script is silly."
The Conspirators (1944)
Hedy joins fellow Austrians Paul Henreid and Peter Lorre, as well as Sydney Greenstreet in this pale imitation of Casablanca set in Lisbon. Despite using half of the original "Casablanca" cast, the best reason to watch is a gorgeous Hedy.
Her Highness and the Bellboy (1945)
Lamarr as a princess in New York City. With June Allyson and Robert Walker.
The Strange Woman (1946)
Directed by the Austrian Edgar Ulmer and co-starring George Sanders. Most critics rate this Lamarr's best film performance. > Buy this movie on DVD or on VHS video
Dishonored Lady (1947)
One of Lamarr's weaker films. > Buy this movie on VHS
Let's Live a Little (1948)
Entertaining romantic comedy with Robert Cummings and Lamarr in love.
Samson and Delilah (1949)
An above-average DeMille Technicolor spectacle starring Lamarr as Delilah and Victor Mature (of Swiss parentage) as Samson. Just ignore the laughable Samson versus the lion duel. Newly released on video! > Buy this movie on VHS Video
Copper Canyon (1950)
Lamarr is the female lead in this post-Civil War Western also starring Ray Milland and Macdonald Carey. > Buy this movie on VHS video
A Lady Without Passport (1950)
Hedy tries to leave Havana and her past behind her.
My Favorite Spy (1951)
Lamarr lends her beauty to this Bob Hope comedy, with fellow Austrian Mike Mazurki playing a heavy.
Eterna Femmina (1953, Italy)
Botched and uncompleted by director Marc Allegret, the original three hours were cut to 90 minutes by Austrian co-director Edgar Ulmer, then released in the US as The Face That Launched a Thousand Ships with Lamarr as Helen of Troy. Also known as Loves of Three Queens.
The Story of Mankind (1957)
Hedy as Joan of Arc. The star-studded cast is lost in a rambling, clichéd film that can't even be saved by the brothers Marx (appearing separately), Ronald Colman, Cedric Hardwicke, Vincent Price, Virginia Mayo, and others. Peter Lorre has a cameo appearance.
The Female Animal (1958)
Lamarr's final screen appearance. "Sad waste of Lamarr as mature Hollywood star..." (Leonard Maltin).
