Civilian Clothes is a surviving 1920 American silent comedy film produced by Famous Players–Lasky and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

[1][2][3][4] As described in a film magazine,[5] Florence Lanham (Mansfield), married in France while a Salvation Army worker to Captain Sam McGinnis (Meighan), returns to society life in America after receiving word that he was killed in battle.

She keeps news of her wedding secret and permits the attentions of Billy Arkwright (Hickman), an early lover.

When McGinnis suddenly appears on the scene, clothed in startlingly bold habiliments, the Lanham stubbornness asserts itself.

To impart upon her his own gospel of democracy, McGinnis obtains the place of a discharged butler in the Lanham household.
