What Do Men Want?
According to this Lois Weber production, men don't really seem to know what they want at all -- first Frank (J. Frank Glendon) wants to be an inventor. Then he wants to marry his childhood sweetheart, Hallie (the lovely Claire Windsor). Then he wants children. Then, when his inventions bring him financial success, he becomes restless, so he takes up with another woman. Eventually he figures out that the woman's reputation is less than squeaky clean, so he wants his wife back.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative around the familiar tension between material achievement and emotional fulfillment, relying on the moral frameworks of its time. It explores the restless spirit of a man who must lose what he has to understand its true value.
What lingers after the final reel is a poignant, if conventional, reminder of the perils of taking love for granted. — MovieFinder Editorial
