LONELY WIVES(1931)
A light comedy about a dude that is quite the
playboy, but only after 8:00! His wife is out of
town and he does some extra corricular activities!
He gets a visit from an impersonator who is the
spitting image of him, and he hires him to impersonate
him while he goes out on the town! What he doesn't
know is that the man who's doing the impersonating
is the husband of one of the ladies that he's going
to see!! And to top that off, the man's wife comes
home early!! B-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
This film is based on the 1922 play, renamed "Who's
Who" - a better title than "Lonely Wives" - that
starred Charles Ruggles. While Ruggles would have
been perfection as Smith/Zero, this film version
is hilarious, due primarily to the inventive
comedic performance of Horton. Also superb are the
butler - a tippler who thinks he's going crazy - and
Horton's guard dog mother-in-law. It's a pleasure
to watch the adorable Ralston, La Plante, and
Miller - 3 femme stars from the silent era who
have featured roles - contribute so deftly to
the merriment. As the plot thickens, the tempo
speeds up so that the second half is a whirl
of exits, entrances and misunderstandings.
Surprisingly, but believably, all wrongs are
righted in the end.
Even though this film from the Mill Creek
comedy collection was a poor visual and audio
transfer from a TV showing, it's amazing just
how good this comedy is and how much I enjoyed
it. - hotangen
