Wife Savers

1928 · 57 min

A breezy silent comedy with alpine charm, romantic misunderstandings, and light slapstick, easy to enjoy without much thought.

Overview
Stationed in Switzerland after the Great War, soldiers Louis Hozenozzle and Rodney Ramsbottom both fall in love with local damsel Colette, much to the dismay of Colette's self-appointed boyfriend, General Lavoris. When Lavoris issues a fake order that all unmarried women must immediately take husbands, Hozenozzle weds Colette, at her request, to "save" her for the absent Ramsbottom. A lost film.
