The Fixer Uppers (1935)

This film documents the sordid career of a Clear and Present Danger . . .

[7/10 · 29 December 2020]

. . . to the American Social Order, A Marital Drama Queen (aka, The Wayward Wife). This Public Enemy #1 endangers the lives of a pair of random innocent by-standers, a couple of hard-working itinerant sales specialists pounding the pavement to hawk their self-produced line of quirky greeting cards. However, things get totally out of hand during THE FIXER UPPERS when they happen upon Mrs. G., a would-be seductress well past her expiration date (not unlike "Mrs. Robinson" in THE GRADUATE). This horrid harpy is eager to smooch anyone in trousers who crosses her Threshold of Doom. After entrapping unwary victims, the insidious spider sports with her spoils, toying with their good natures until she can trick them into duels with her sure-shot spouse. However, THE FIXER UPPERS escape with their lives, leaving Mrs. G. with no door to slam.
