When first watching Why Change your Wife, I really didn't know what to expect. I don't have much experience with silent films and film critiques in general.
After watching the silent film I can honestly say I enjoyed the film, although I did find it a bit slow in some parts. At first I figured it was a married couple with some general problems and they end up getting divorced. The husband (Robert) would find someone new he fell in love with and would get away from his controlling and conservative wife (Beth). I would say I wrong in my assumption although they did get divorced and he did find someone new. I was not expecting the twist in the middle. I really enjoyed scene where they met again at the hotel. When Robert is walking the dog and he's trying to get a look at the beautiful woman sitting (Beth). I love how he's trying to look and she puts her umbrella in the way and continues to move in a circle with Robert. The other scene I really enjoyed was when Beth was taking care of Robert after he slipped on a banana peel. Even though there were no words during the new Mrs. Gordon and Beth I found myself zoned in on the quarrel between the two. I found it amusing in some ways especially when she finds out it was just eye wash and proceeds to take Roberts money.
I did find some of the dialogs to be a bit lengthy. I understood some of the quotes, but I didn't always like how long or some of the messages being said. Over all I'd say Why Change your Wife was funny and entertaining movie!
