...main trouble with The Warrior's Husband is that its theme lacks capacity for development. Once the original idea sinks in there is nothing very comical-unless you think a joke improves with repetition -about the war with the Greeks which presently sets in. Naturally Antiope falls in love with a Greek hoplite (David Manners). When Hercules-portrayed as a puffing, timid lout by Stanley Sandford- stumbles into camp he is roguishly made a prisoner by Hippolyta's ringlet-bearded little spouse, who subsequently realizes that he can advance his coy campaign for the emancipation...

When, a year later, it becomes evident that Fournier is unable to write about anything that has not actually happened to him or his wife (pretty Peggy Wood). Mosca adroitly arranges to have another of his authors fall in love with Mme Fournier. To Mosca's and her husband's surprise. Mme Fournier actually falls in love with the author, etc., etc. Little Ernest Truex can always make a defeated part seem humorous due to the basic fact that he is about half as large as the rest...
