Other than Laurel and Hardy (who were subtracted to MGM through Hal Roach Studios), it is amazing that the most prestigious film studio in the 1940s (MGM) made such dull short subject films. I've watched a few of the so-called "Pete Smith Specialties" and have never been all that impressed due to the rather smug narration by Smith and the usual second-rate acting (overacting) by the cast. While I LOVE MY HUSBAND, BUT! is far better than the average Pete Smith film, it is sad to say that represents about as good a film as you'll find in the series.
This film consists of a frustrated wife realizing all the jerky and thoughtless things her husband does. Again and again, she notices all these actions and by the end of the film she's ready to kill the clod. All this is set to the sarcastic comments by Smith and the acting is incredibly broad--with lots of bulging eyes.
Overall, it's watchable and mild fun but also rather sloppy. Not a must-see.
