The Woman of Bronze is a 1923 American silent drama film directed by King Vidor and distributed through Metro Pictures. It is based on a 1920 Broadway play by Henry Kistemaeckers (adapted by Paul Kester) which starred Margaret Anglin, John Halliday, and Mary Fowler. The film version is considered to be lost.
Vivian (Clara Kimball Young), a long-suffering wife, endures her artist husbandâÂÂs infidelity with Sylvia (Kathryn McGuire), his young model. Leonard (Lloyd Whitlock) redeems himself when he recognizes the spiritual character of his wife. Vidor considered the film âÂÂout of my line.âÂÂ
During the filming of A Woman of Bronze Vidor was invited to join Samuel Goldwyn Productions, with whom he would make two pictures: Three Wise Fools (1923) and Wild Oranges (1924).
