What The Marriage Circle Is About
Ernst Lubitsch's 1924 American film is among the most influential works of his early Hollywood period. Set in Vienna, the story is built on a chain of misunderstandings between an unhappy marriage, the wife's closest friend and that friend's husband. Its place in film history lies in how the comedy is told: rather than showing, Lubitsch implies, closes doors and invites the viewer to complete the scene. The approach later became known as the Lubitsch touch and changed the direction of American comedy. Though a silent film, it uses very few intertitles. The story is simple; the real matter is the manner of telling. Who it's for: viewers interested in silent cinema and the history of comedy. Who it's not for: anyone wanting dense incident, or who finds silent films hard going.
