Interesting facts
Polygamy, also released as Illegal Wives, is an American film produced in 1936 and released with a world premiere in Detroit in 1937. Ted Toddy was involved in efforts to distribute the film which did not receive approval until 1939 following lengthy correspondence with censors and edits to the film. Patrick Carlyle directed. Scenes from the film were cut by censors. One censor wrote "We disliked this picture very much and we tried to find some way to reject it, but, after it was cut in a number of spots, we felt that we could not, in conscience, reject it, simply because we didn't like it." The Motion Picture Association of America has correspondence with censors about the film.
