Legacy

[edit]

The film was repackaged and re-released in 1962 as Frigid Wife, now including a twelve-minute prologue that depicts a marriage counselor telling the story of A Modern Marriage as a case history for two patients. (One of the counselors is played by Sid Noel, better known as Morgus the Magnificent, a mad scientist/horror movie host whose career spanned over 50 years.) After the prologue, the entire A Modern Marriage film is seen.[4]
