Why Mr. Nation Wants a Divorce (1901)
*** (out of 4)
This Edison short is a spoof of their Kansas Saloon Smashers, which was released the same year. While Mrs. Nation is out busting up saloons, her husband is at home watching the kids, which leads him to do something the wife wouldn't approve of. Having watched this after the original film makes it a lot more funny and the big twist at the end was expected but it was still funny. I'm sure some might be offended at the idea of a "woman's place is in the house" but then again, this is 1901 we're talking about. Co-director Porter once again doubles and does the cinematography as well.
