Directed by Edvin Adolphson, Modern Wives leans on a strong ensemble — Ivar Kåge, Margit Manstad, Edvin Adolphson — 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 screen titles of 1932.
