Featured review
"What time will your wife be home?"
Eddie Cantor stars in this short which seems like a variation on the famous Dr. Kronkheit sketch from the vaudevillians Smith & Dale.....it even has a joke or two 'borrowed' from this sketch.
The story begins with Eddie entering a doctor's office for a physical in order to get an insurance policy. The doc plays the straight man and Eddie tells the jokes and sings a little song.
None of this is exactly brilliant but it is fun and gives you a look into a long gone style of stage entertainment. Well worth seeing. And, if you like this, I suggest you try another one of his shorts, "Getting a Ticket".
