"Wife and Auto Trouble" or "His Marriage Flivver" is an American short film from 1916, so this one is already over a century old and it is still from the days of black-and-white silent film. It runs for 14 minutes and even if you don't know any of the names working on this one in front of and behind the camera, this doesn't mean they weren't successful and prolific artists back in the day and a look at their body of work confirms it. Still after seeing this one, I must say that the production values were really low and that it suffers like so many others from lack of enough intertitles to at least understand the basic plot and story. Now I would say that also some of the most known silent films from back then suffered in terms of story-telling, but they had a guy like Arbuckle, Chaplin or Lloyd to elevate the material. You won't find an equivalent here and that's why the comedy, the core element, comes short. I suggest you watch something else instead.
