The Love Cheat is a 1919 silent American film written by Peggy McCall and directed by George Archainbaud.

When a potential client asks to meet him at an upscale hotel, Calving borrows clothes from his friends so that he can look presentable.

As he is leaving, he bumps into a former classmate, William West, who understands his predicament, and offers to loan him money in order for him to pursue Louise.

On the eve of the engagement party, Calving has a crisis of conscience, and writes a note to Louise explaining his deception and apologizing for hurting her, and disappears.

In July it was revealed that George Archainbaud would helm the picture, and the supporting cast was slated to include Edwards Davis, Alfred Hickman, Charles Coleman, and Katherine Johnson.

Editor's Herald enjoyed the piece, comparing it to the prior work which starred Caprice and Hale, Oh, Boy!, released earlier that year.
