Husbands and Lovers is a 1924 American silent comedy film directed by John M. Stahl and starring Florence Vidor and Lewis Stone.

[1][2] As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] James Livingstone (Stone), reaching the stage where he regards his wife Grace (Vidor) as a valet as she "lays out" her husband's clothes, is rudely awakened when she takes his advice and "dolls up."

James abruptly learns of the secret friendship when his circumstances cause him to substitute for Phillips in a tryst with Grace.

She is about to marry Rex when James, like a regular caveman, carries Grace away in her bridal array to his car and elopes to the minister's to be wedded a second time.

A complete print of Husbands and Lovers is preserved by MGM and also at Filmmuseum EYE Institut, Netherlands.
