The Woman in His House is a 1920 American silent drama film produced by Louis B. Mayer, directed by John M. Stahl, and starring Mildred Harris.

[2] As described in a film magazine,[3] with the coming of their little son, Dr. Philip Emerson (Wallace) and his wife Hilda (Harris) drift slowly apart.

When Peter sees the trend of feeling between Hilda and Robert, he seeks to bring about a better understanding between the husband and wife.

He is revived, and the father devotes every minute of his time for several weeks attempting to find a cure, but the child is hopelessly crippled.

Peter finally brings about a meeting between Hilda and the child, and what science could not accomplish is done by love.
