Charming Sinners is a 1929 American pre-Code comedy film directed by Robert Milton and written by W. Somerset Maugham and Doris Anderson. The film stars Ruth Chatterton, Clive Brook, Mary Nolan, William Powell, Laura Hope Crews and Florence Eldridge. The film was released on August 17, 1929, by Paramount Pictures.[1][2] It is an adaptation of the 1926 play The Constant Wife by W. Somerset Maugham.

It has been described as a "splendid example of the early talkie period" with use of static camera and dialogue-heavy scenes.[3]
