For Wives Only is a 1926 American silent comedy film directed by Victor Heerman and starring Marie Prevost, Victor Varconi, and Charles K. Gerrard.[1]
Dr. Josef Rittenhaus, a well-liked physician in Vienna's upper class, is asked by his friend Waldstein to consider a proposal from Countess von Nessa to donate funds and land for a new sanitarium. Meanwhile, Rittenhaus's wife, Laura, feeling neglected, finds herself in the company of Carl Tanzer, who she rejects despite his advances. Laura attempts to incite jealousy in her husband with a fake letter, but her plan fails. Later, while evading unwanted attention from another man, she encounters Fritz Schwerman, a friend of her husband's, and agrees to have lunch with him. Meanwhile, Laura tries to impress her husband's friends at a card game, while the countess makes advances towards Rittenhaus. Disgusted by the situation, Rittenhaus returns home and reconciles happily with his wife.
