Plot

Cast

In a contemporary review, the Los Angeles Times wrote: "The many family relations organizations now established are qualified to provide deeply human stories for the screen. Such a one, without bathos or sickening sentimentality, but vital and intensely absorbing, is 'A Modern Marriage,' declared in a foreword to be authentic except for names and a few details.... Margaret Field gives a wonderfully effective characterization in the difficult role of the girl."

Legacy

The film was repackaged and rereleased in 1962 as Frigid Wife, with a 12-minute prologue that depicts a marriage counselor telling the story of A Modern Marriage as a case history for two patients.
