Is Marriage the Bunk?
Charley has in-laws that look down on him because he's not rich. So, to try to keep up, he rushes out to buy a car—but no matter, they still think he's a drip—as does his wife. Later, when he's given a simple job to do by his boss, he screws it up—and loses face once again with his family.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its humor on the timeless clash between social aspiration and personal inadequacy, relying on physical gags and expressive performances to highlight the absurdity of keeping up appearances.
What lingers after the final reel is the sharp, silent-era satire of bourgeois values, where every stumble amplifies the comedy. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Leo McCarey
