Alimony(1924)

“A scathing rebuke to the motley army of jazz babies-good guys-sweet mammas-hot doggies-and all the rest of the steaming array that masquerades in the fair name of Goodfellowship!”

Overview

Jimmy Mason lifts himself up from poverty to unlimited riches. The audience knows that he couldn't have done it without the help and support of his wife Marion. When Jimmy starts cheating on her, she divorces him, receiving an enormous settlement. Reduced to penury by various spendthrift mistresses, Jimmy is rescued once more by Marion, who once more guides him to success-and remarries him, this time on her terms.
