Interesting facts
What Do Men Want? is a 1921 American silent drama film written, produced, and directed by Lois Weber and starring her muse Claire Windsor. Surviving reels were released on DVD and Blu-ray in 2018.
Production
Although Weber had signed a distribution contract with Paramount Pictures in 1919 and the studio had screened this and three other of her titles with Weber, Paramount declined to distribute What Do Men Want?, possibly due to its subject matter involving an unwed mother and suicide. As part of the deal to distribute Weber's film The Blot (1921), F.B. Warren also released What Do Men Want?
