About Is Marriage the Bunk?
Charley has in-laws that look down on him because he's not rich. So, to try to keep up, he rushes out to buy a car—but no matter, they still think he's a drip—as does his wife. Later, when he's given a simple job to do by his boss, he screws it up—and loses face once again with his family.
Directed by Leo McCarey, Is Marriage the Bunk? leans on a strong ensemble — Charley Chase, Katherine Grant, Evelyn Burns — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1925.
