I Love My Wife But! (1946)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Pete Smith short has Dave O'Brien playing a husband in love with his wife but she has several habits that drive him nuts. This comedy features all sorts of small jokes involving the wife including her taking too long to get ready, not letting the husband do anything, making him work instead of play and not being able to drive the car. I can just imagine seeing this in a theatre back in 1946 because I can see all the husbands on the floor having a laughing fit while the women sit there getting mad. The film is certainly sexist but it's all done in good charm. There are several funny sequences, although I wouldn't put this among the best Smith shorts out there. The driving sequence is probably the highlight of the movie.
