Mild But Amusing Comedy
This was among the first block of shorts that Monty Banks starred in for Warner Brothers. It had wrapped production the previous summer, but there had been no distribution until Warners released it themselves. Monty Banks plays the new husband of Bee Jamieson... with a roving eye. He works as the designer and sempster at a department store, which gives him plenty of opportunity to deal attentively with pretty women. The usual assortment of comic mishaps occur.
Although in broad outline, this is an unremarkable comedy, Banks and director Herman Raynmaker ornament the comic sequences nicely. In the chase, not only does Banks run in a funny manner, he falls down occasionally, and there is a nice variation on the sort of multi-door chase that Friz Freleng would use frequently in his cartoons. Banks career would continue to rise steadily, although by the end of the decade he would largely retreat behind the camera, where his comedy training would make him a popular director in England.
