I Love My Husband, But!

This is one in a long series of Pete Smith Specialties that began around 1934 at MGM. This, one of the comedies, is a scream. It is all about the loving wife, and her idiot uncaring oaf of a husband (played by Dave O'Brien.)

Totally narrated by Smith, we are shown different examples of things that husbands do that irritates their wives. The wife in this series plays visual comedy well.

Besides this one, there is one on WIVES, and MOTHERS-IN-LAWS. The last one is my personal favorite.

These shorts are rarely seen, even on the Turner Classics TV channel. Several in the series won Academy Awards for best short-subjects!
