Bluebeard's Seven Wives is a 1926 American silent comedy film produced and released by First National Pictures. It was directed by Alfred Santell and starred Ben Lyon, Lois Wilson, and Blanche Sweet.[1]
As described in a film magazine review,[2] John Hart, who works as a teller in a bank, is fired after a shortage is found in his account. He gets a job at a movie studio, where they consider him a "find" and everyone works to make him a star. The publicity department has his name changed to Don Juan Hartez and he is planted on an incoming steamer. As a new screen lover, a press agent scheme is to marry him to seven wives. However, John balks after a few fake marriages and runs off and marries his sweetheart Mary Kelly.
