Life's Whirlpool is a 1917 American silent drama film written and directed by Lionel Barrymore with his sister Ethel Barrymore as the star. This is the brother and sister's only collaboration on a silent film as director and star.

This film should not be confused with McTeague which was also known as Life's a Whirlpool, an early telling of Frank Norris's McTeague, and which was later filmed by Eric von Stroheim as Greed (1923).

The Lionel Barrymore directed film was produced by B. A. Rolfe and released through Metro Pictures. Barrymore would return for a short time to directing films in the early sound era. This is now considered to be a lost film.

Synopsis

As described in a film magazine, Esther (Barrymore), upon the death of her father, is advised by her kindly neighbors to get married. She is forced to sell the homestead and marries a domineering old miser named John Martin (Carrington), who lives with his maiden sister Ruth (Allen). Because she passes the time of day on the street with young men, her husband becomes jealous. He chokes her after he finds a letter from a former friend, Dr. Henry Grey (Hale), and she decides to leave him. While escaping with her son she is detained in a hut by a drunken farmer who tries to embrace her. She shoots him dead, and a posse arrests her for the death of her husband, who was found strangled in the library. However, the death confession of the real murderer clears her of her husband's death, and the return of her former friend from France completes her happiness.

As described in a film magazine, Clorinda Gildersleeve (Barrymore) has drifted into an affair with a married man, Leslie Palliser (Ellis). She goes to Europe to forget and meets Malcolm Grant (Davidson), a young surgeon, who falls in love with her. However, because of her affair with Palliser, she believes she has no right to accept his love. She hears an excellent sermon preached by Reverend Arthur Bainbridge (Gillmore) on the text "Woman, go and sin no more" and appeals to the minister in regards to Malcolm's attentions. She sends Malcolm to see the minister, but he does not disclose Clorinda's secret. The minister interests her in a home for erring girls and Clorinda adopts one of the inmates. Reverend Bainbridge urges her to marry Malcolm, but during the ceremony she falls in a faint. That night, however, she writes to the minister announcing her marriage to Malcolm and their departure for France, where he will do surgical work and she will become a nurse.
