Slightly Used is a 1927 American synchronized sound comedy film directed by Archie Mayo and written by C. Graham Baker and Jack Jarmuth. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the Vitaphone sound-on-disc process. The film stars May McAvoy, Conrad Nagel, Robert Agnew, Audrey Ferris, Anders Randolf and Eugenie Besserer. The film was released by Warner Bros. on September 3, 1927.[1][2][3]

The film's plot is based on the 1911 play Green Stockings by A. E. W. Mason. The film was remade as an All-Talkie in 1930 as The Flirting Widow at First National Pictures, by then a subsidiary of Warner Bros.
