Four Around the Woman (1921)

Decla-Bioscop (Germany)
Directed by Fritz Lang
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Kino Lorber)

Thoroughly confusing story of a woman who is devoted to her husband, but is suspected of having a tryst on the day of their engagement. The man from her past is now a jewel thief who is part of an underground diamond trading ring operating out of a local bar. He has a twin brother who is mistaken for him for no apparent reason other than to confuse the viewer. There is also a man trying to blackmail her for money. So, if you count the husband, there are actually five around the woman.
