🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedy on the stark contrast between the husband's arrogant disregard and his subsequent humbling, eye-opening experience. It relies on physical slapstick and situational gags to expose the absurdity of rigid gender roles, avoiding heavy-handed moralizing.
What lingers after the laughter is a surprisingly progressive, witty farce that finds humor in recognizable domestic inequity. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Harry Langdon

With a cup of tea, settled in for sharp, silent-era slapstick and social satire.
