Experimental Marriage

The film follows Suzanne Ercoll, a young widow who is a proponent of women's suffrage. When she receives a marriage proposal from Foxcroft Grey, she hesitates to relinquish her independence. Instead, Suzanne proposes a unique arrangement: they will be married from Saturday to Monday, allowing her to remain single the rest of the week.

As a lost film, Experimental Marriage represents a fascinating piece of early cinema history. Its comedic take on romance and societal expectations during the 1910s offers insight into the evolving roles of women at the time. This film is particularly relevant for collectors interested in silent films and the progression of gender roles in cinema, showcasing the work of prominent actors such as Talmadge and Ford.
