Our Little Wife

About This Movie

Our Little Wife is quite the curious little piece from 1918, showcasing a blend of comedy and drama that feels oddly modern in its themes. Dodo Warren, the naive bride, brings along her three jilted suitors on her honeymoon, creating this chaotic yet charming dynamic that's fun to watch unfold. The pacing has a leisurely feel, typical of silent era films, but it allows for some delightful character moments. It’s really the performances that stand out—especially the ensemble's ability to navigate the awkwardness of the situation with just the right touch of humor. The Florida resort backdrop adds a nice, breezy atmosphere that contrasts with the tension of the love quadrangle. It's quirky and definitely has its own unique charm.

Our Little Wife has had a somewhat elusive presence in the collector community. Rarely seen in circulation, early prints are quite scarce, which certainly piques interest among silent film enthusiasts. The film has been preserved in a few archives but finding a good copy is a challenge, making it a treasured gem for those who appreciate the nuances of early cinema.
