I love these Pete Smith Specialties, mainly because you can always depend on DAVE O'BRIEN to give 100% to his performance, whether it be shaving in the morning before he's completely awake or taking one of his numerous pratfalls.
This time it's the wife (DOROTHY SHORT) who gets the spotlight as the lady of the house who wants hubby to take her to the movies after dinner. She calls him up at work and he rejects the idea because he'll be too tired by evening. He exclaims, "After all, what have you done all day?" We then see a series of montages showing the little wife cleaning house, taking care of the baby girl, pushing furniture around, and literally knocking herself out on the daily chores. When hubby gets home and still refuses to budge from his favorite chair, you can guess what happens next.
Summing up: Just plain fun.
