The Missing Wife (German:Die verschwundene Frau) is a 1929 Austrian silent film comedy crime film directed by Karl Leiter and starring Harry Halm, Iris Arlan and Mary Kid. The sets were designed by the art director Hans Ledersteger.

The film is notable for marking the screen debut of Peter Lorre. The film was believed lost until 1984. It was until not it was restored in 1996 that Lorre's small role was noted. Lorre had never spoken about the film and always maintained that M (1931) was his first film, probably because it was a breakthrough role as opposed to a brief, uncredited cameo.[1]
