L'Échange

Why Change Your Wife? was a movie about a couple undergoing some problems. Robert keeps trying to please his nagging wife, Beth. He tries to please her without success. He tries several things to please her and she continuously turns it down, refusing to change for him. This leads Robert to go out with another women who works in a negligee shop. Eventually she gets a little saucy to spruce herself up and become more appealing in hopes to win Robert back. I loved the romantic drama and the passion behind this silent film. Though it would have been better with sound, I found it very similar to some of the popular movies out today. It was refreshing to see the humor and romantic scandals that were around back in 1920 and how they haven't differed much from the scandals of today. It was a delight to watch.
