The Marriage Circle is a 1924 film by Ernst Lubitsch. It is based on the play Only a Dream by Lothar Schmidt.
The "circle" of the title refers to the ring of infidelities (suspected and otherwise) central to the plot. Professor Stock (Adolphe Menjou) is unhappily married; his wife Mizzi develops an attraction to a happily married man (Monte Blue) while his best friend tries to seduce that man's wife. The wife, in turn, suspects her husband is having an affair, and asks Mizzi to keep an eye on her husband.
The Marriage Cirlce was remade in 1932 by Lubitsch and George Cukor as One Hour With You; the remake is set in Paris.
