Spite Marriage is a 1929 American silent comedy film co-directed by Buster Keaton and Edward Sedgwick and starring Keaton and Dorothy Sebastian. It is the second film Keaton made for MGM and his last silent film, although he had wanted it to be a "talkie" or full sound film. While the production has no recorded dialogue, it does feature an accompanying synchronized score and recorded laughter, applause, and other sound effects. Keaton later wrote gags for some up-and-coming MGM stars like Red Skelton, and recycled many gags from Spite Marriage, some shot-for-shot, for Skelton's 1943 film I Dood It.
