There is little story and less action. But excellent photography, good interior shots, well chosen exteriors and dignified acting bring It up to the average standard. Go to Full Review Wid Gunning The Film Daily 10/26/2020
For the most part the picture is straight exposition instead of interesting narrative or drama. Go to Full Review Edward Weitzel Moving Picture World 10/26/2020
The plot has hardly any suspense, and the repetition of the scenes at the bedside of the sick child is another weak point. Go to Full Review Tom Hamlin Motion Picture News 10/26/2020
Any film fan can anticipate everything that is going to happen in the following reels and there is nothing in the picture that appeals to the emotions. It is nice to look at, but not entertaining. Go to Full Review Virginia Tracy New York Tribune 08/01/2019
People who do not wish to be disturbed might find their pleasure in The Better Wife, where, at least in the adult part of the cast, there is no acting of any sort to disturb anybody. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
