The Marriage Circle.

The Marriage Circle is a 1924 American silent comedy film produced and directed by Ernst Lubitsch and distributed by Warner Bros. Based on the play Only a Dream by Lothar Schmidt, the screenplay was written by Paul Bern.[3] The "circle" of the title refers to the ring of infidelities (suspected and otherwise) central to the plot.

The film was remade in 1932 by Lubitsch and George Cukor as One Hour with You.[3]
