His Wife's Mother (1909 film)

His Wife's Mother is a 1909 American silent short comedy film. The film was directed by D. W. Griffith and produced by the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company.

The exact plot details are not readily available due to the film's age and limited documentation. Generally, early films of this period, particularly comedies, revolved around simple scenarios involving family relationships, misunderstandings, and comedic mishaps. The title suggests the film likely explores the often-comedic relationship between a husband and his mother-in-law.

The cast of the film is also largely unconfirmed, though actors and actresses frequently appearing in Griffith's Biograph films of this era may have been involved.

His Wife's Mother is considered a significant early example of Griffith's directorial work and provides insight into the development of narrative film techniques in the nascent film industry. Like many films from this period, it is a valuable artifact for understanding the evolution of cinema. Its historical importance lies in its representation of early filmmaking practices and the types of stories that appealed to audiences at the time. Information about the film is often gleaned from filmographies and historical analyses of Biograph's output.
