Let's Get a Divorce

Let's Get a Divorce is a 1918 American silent comedy film starring Billie Burke and written for the screen by husband and wife team John Emerson and Anita Loos.

The film is based on the popular stage play Divorçons by Victorien Sardou and Émile de Najac.

[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Cyprienne Marcey (Burke), who eats, dreams, and writes romance, picks out Henri (Miltern), the brother of her roommate, as the object of her affections.

Following their spectacular elopement, Henri's attempt to return to writing is a jolt to her romantic temperament.

When the latter breaks into their private dining room with the police, he is denounced by Cyprienne who emphatically states that Henri, her husband, is the only man she ever loved.
