A mildly amusing sci-fi comedy about role reversals.
17 September 2017
This is the second sci-fi comedy about male role reversals on the disc "Hal Roach Presents Early Pathe Comedies" and they both have very similar notions...almost certainly spurred on by the women's movement of the early 20th century. After all, women just received the right to vote and these films predict that in the future, women will be the bosses and men will be highly feminized.

One Hundred years from now, folks fly around on zeppelins and Clyde Cook has just gotten married. However, his wife has little intention of being faithful and leaves poor Clyde at home. Clyde's father (James Finlayson) arrives and encourages his son to stand up to his wife and insist she stop her wicked ways. This does occur....but why? See the film.

Of the two, I preferred Snub Pollard in "Years to Come", though both are pleasant comedies and are unusual because of the role reversals.
