Gloria Swanson in
Why Change Your Wife?
When diva Gloria Swanson appeared in Cecil B. Demille's silent comedy
Why Change Your Wife?, she was on her second of seven marriages, and
well on her way to being the highest-paid movie star of the Jazz Age.
The '20s established Swanson as a magnetic and captivating dream girl
(a far cry from the crazed Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard), and
her famously unnecessary costume changes further enchanted film
audiences that were already taken with her unique glamor. Swanson's
bookish character in Wife is the nerdy spouse of a playboy who's quick
to leave her for the delectable, empty-headed Bebe Daniels (two sirens
for the price of one!) After the former gets an extensive makeover,
the married couple run into each other at a summer resort, and the
film's title is addressed to hilarious effect.
Dir. Cecil B. Demille, 1920, 16mm, 90 min.
Tickets - $10
