For Sale (1924 film)

For Sale is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by George Archainbaud. The film stars Claire Windsor, Robert Ellis, and Mary Carr. The screenplay was written by Eve Unsell, based on the novel of the same name by Rupert Hughes.

The film tells the story of a woman who marries for money rather than love and the subsequent consequences of that decision. It explores themes of wealth, social status, marital unhappiness, and the pursuit of happiness. It was produced and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).

The film is considered lost, meaning that no known copies of the complete film are known to exist in archives or private collections. Fragmentary elements or stills may exist, but a full viewing is not currently possible.

While not considered a major or groundbreaking film of the era, For Sale exemplifies the type of melodramatic social commentary that was popular during the silent film era. The presence of Claire Windsor, a popular leading actress of the time, provided star power to the production. Its loss underscores the fragility of early film preservation.
