Potash and Perlmutter (1923) is an American silent comedy film. The film is based on an ethnic Jewish comedy with characters created by Montague Glass and Charles Klein for a 1913 Broadway play which ran for 441 performances.[1] This film is notable as the first production of Samuel Goldwyn's independent production company.[2]

Stage stars Alexander Carr and Barney Bernard reprise their famous roles in this film.

The film's success would inspire two Goldwyn sequels, In Hollywood with Potash and Perlmutter (1924) and Partners Again (1926).
