Beggars of Life (1928) is an early sound film with talking sequences starring Wallace Beery as a rail-riding hobo and Louise Brooks as a girl on the run. Based on an autobiography Beggars of Life by Jim Tully, the film is often regarded as Brooks's best American movie.

This is Paramount's first feature with dialogue on the soundtrack and the first time Beery's distinctive voice was recorded for a film, although the talking is extremely limited, similar to Warner Bros.'s The Jazz Singer the previous year.
Beery and Brooks had appeared together the previous year in Now We're in the Air, was considered a lost film until 2016 when an incomplete copy was found in Czechoslovakia.
