Main Street (1923 film)

Main Street is a 1923 American silent drama film based on the 1920 novel of the same name by Sinclair Lewis.

As described in a film magazine review,[3] a young city woman with advanced ideas marries a small town doctor, and go to live in a backwoods burg.

Her irritation at the small talk and petty incidents which make up the lives of the townspeople finally culminate in her leaving home and going to work as a government clerk in Washington, D.C. After a time her husband follows her there and there is a reunion.

According to Warner Bros records, the film earned $510,000 domestically and $46,000 foreign.

Warner Bros. destroyed many of its negatives in the late 1940s and 1950s due to the nitrate decomposition of its pre-1933 films.
