For Alimony Only

For Alimony Only is a 1926 American silent drama film directed by William C. deMille and starring Leatrice Joy, Clive Brook, and Lilyan Tashman.

[1] The film's sets were by the art director Max Parker while the costumes were designed by Adrian, later known for his work at MGM.

As described in a film magazine review,[2] gold digger Narcissa marries Peter Williams so that she can then divorce him and live comfortably on the alimony.

The marriage of the ex-wife now ends Peter's alimony obligation, and Mary is satisfied that she put one over on the former gold digger.

[3] The studio developed projects with roles suitable for her “Leatrice Joy bob”,[3] and For Alimony Only was the fourth of five films before she regrew her hair.
