The Cardboard Lover is a 1928 silent film comedy produced by Cosmopolitan Productions and distributed by Metro Goldwyn Mayer. It was directed by Robert Z. Leonard and stars Marion Davies and Swedish actor Nils Asther.
The film is based on the play Dans sa candeur naive by Jacques Deval.[2][3][4] (Turner Classic Movies states it is based on Deval's novel of the same name.) In London, Tallulah Bankhead played the lead female in the cast. On Broadway, Jeanne Eagels played the female lead.[5]
The film survives at the Library of Congress and in the Turner library, but is not available on DVD from Warner Archive Collection.[3][6]
In 2015 a second print of the film was found at a recycling centre.[7]
It was remade as The Passionate Plumber in 1932 and Her Cardboard Lover in 1942.
