...contend but he produces two especially tickling scenes. The age-old struggle of the male against the female for the bathroom mirror is most laughably portrayed by Mr. Fields and there is a sequence in which he reveals the vain attempt of an harassed husband to secure a bit of rest a mid the confusions of the back porch. It's a film which is worth seeing, but Mr. Fields deserves better...
