Harry buys a dog who causes distress for him and his wife. The first problem is that the premise of the film is not funny. On our first screening, the group I saw this film with felt the story was sad. The next problem is seeing Harry Langdon with a mustache. Columbia was trying to change his image, but it doesn't work. Harry still plays it child-like. Later on, when glasses were added to Langdon's physical presentation, he looked befuddled. This worked better for him. The direction from Charles Lamont is slow and humorless. This type of thing might have been better in the hands of Jules White or Del Lord. They knew how to take "comedy of frustration" situations and make them care free and funny. Lamont did much better work later on with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.
