The Marriage Price is a 1919 American silent romantic drama film produced by Famous Players–Lasky and distributed through Paramount Pictures and Artcraft.

[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Helen Tremaine (Ferguson) is an extravagant daughter of a wealthy New York man, but becomes impoverished by his death and disillusioned when her friends leave her, save Frederick Lawton (Standing), a man of power and wealth.

She does not love Lawton and prefers Kenneth Gordon (Atwill), but he says he is too poor to marry her.

He tests her by making her financially independent through a pretend heritage of hers that he claims to have discovered, but she remains a girl of her word.

The deal goes through, but it is a trap set up by her husband to show her the type of man her former love was.
