The Goldfish is a 1924 American silent comedy film directed by Jerome Storm and starring Constance Talmadge, Jack Mulhall, and Frank Elliott.[1] [2]
As described in a film magazine review,[3] Jennie Wetherby and her husband Jimmy agree that if they tire of wedded life, she or he will hand the other a bowl of goldfish, signifying that their marital partnership is ended. They quarrel and Jimmy carries out the threat, giving Jenny a bowl of goldfish. Won by Herman Krauss, Jenny gives him the goldfish in favor of millionaire J. Hamilton Powers. The latter dies, leaving her a wealthy widow. She is about to wed the Duke of Middlesex, when Krauss brings the old sweethearts together again. The Duke gets the goldfish and Jimmy and Jenny are reunited.
An incomplete copy of The Goldfish is held by the Library of Congress.[4]
