This is a Warner Brothers short in its series of McDoakes behind the 8-ball. These 10- to 15-minutes comedies usually went with a Merrie Melodies cartoon as warm ups with movie previews before the feature films played on theater screens. These bring back fond members of the theater days in the mid-20th century. I enjoy seeing these when WB or another studio includes its shorts with feature films on DVDs.
George O'Hanlon starred in many of these shorts (if not all of this series), and here he's joined by Joyce Coates. "So You Want to Wear the Pants" is about a feuding couple who go to see a head shrink. He does a little hypnotic exchange of persons in bodies so they can see one another through the other's eyes. The result is very funny, mostly because Joe has Allice's voice and manners in his male body, and Alice has Joe's male voice and husky manners in her body. Each finds out some of what they consider shenanigans on the part of the other.
This 10-minute comedy has some good laughs. The funniest parts are Alice moving and acting like a man with a deep male voice in her body.
