Too Wise Wives

In this pioneering silent drama, Lois Weber explores the complex web of relationships and desires that can both bind and betray us. When a devoted wife's jealousy threatens to upend her marriage, a former flame's attempt to rekindle an old flame sets off a chain reaction of events that will ultimately lead to redemption and reconciliation. With its thoughtful exploration of family obligations and the delicate balance between love and possessiveness, Too Wise Wives is a quietly powerful film from one of Hollywood's earliest female directors.
