About This Movie

‘Married Alive’ is a curious blend of comedy and social commentary from 1927, directed by Emmett J. Flynn. The film centers on James Duxbury, a polygamist who juggles his multiple wives with a kind of chaotic charm. Lou Tellegen delivers an amusing performance, capturing Duxbury's roguish energy. Then there's Professor Orme, played by Matt Moore, who finds himself entangled in this web of unconventional romance, particularly with Duxbury's fourth wife, Amy, portrayed by Margaret Livingston. The pacing has a delightful rhythm, punctuated by comedic misunderstandings that keep the audience engaged. The film touches on themes of love, legality, and the absurdities of human relationships—definitely one of those silent comedies with a bit more to chew on than the usual slapstick.
