The Wolf of Wall Street is a 1929 American PreCode drama film directed by Rowland V. Lee and starring George Bancroft, Paul Lukas, Olga Baclanova, and Nancy Carroll. The story and screenplay were written by Doris Anderson.

Reception for the film was mixed. Life criticised the film for depending too much on its novelty value the advertising ran George Bancroft talks ... Baclanova sings, and Life noted there is the good news that George Bancroft has a fine screen voice, but felt the film lacked substance in the plot. Film Daily wrote that George Bancroft as the roughneck engineering a pool in Wall Street to get the sucker is immense, as usual, but complained of a lack of action and weak story.citation needed
