The First Mrs. Fraser is a 1929 play by the Irish writer St. John Ervine. After his second wife leaves him for somebody else, a man returns to his true love - his first wife. The play has been revived a number of times and is one of Ervine's best-known works. In 1932 the play was turned into a British film The First Mrs. Fraser directed by Sinclair Hill. It was followed by a 1950 television film and a 1955 German film which drew heavily on the plot.
