Idle Wives - 1916 - 6/10
Ah, domestic bliss. Arguments and tantrums round the kitchen table.
Elsewhere, a husband dallies with an old flame, his suspicious wife spying from nearby.
While a young girl, defying her mother, goes out walking with a man of bad reputation.
By chance, all enter the movie palace to view “Life’s Mirror”.
Where they see on the silver screen, characters eerily enacting their own situations.
Morality film, brushed with melodrama, once feared lost, until two reels surfaced a few years ago.
