So and Sew (1936)
6/10
Two insanely jealous men....and the poor old interior decorator!
15 July 2018
When the film begins, the very beginning of the credits are missing and you have no idea who directed the picture. In fact, nor does IMDB know who directed it...a rare case where no director is credited. Now considering that the story was written by Jean Yarbrough and Charles Roberts, there's a very good chance that one of them directed, as both were famous for directing as well as writing.

The story begins with a new bride and her ultra-jealous husband. The man keeps imagining that his wife is cheating on him. After he leaves, another super-jealous man (Billy Gilbert) arrives...pledging his undying love for the woman. When she informs him she's married, he doesn't believe her....so she has the interior decorator pose as her husband. This causes all sorts of problems with the decorator's fiance (Lucille Ball) arrives but it gets a lot worse when the husband comes home!

This comedy is enjoyable but not filled with big laughs. Additionally, the whole notion of insanely jealous and violent men is a bit creepy...not exactly the stuff of comedy considering how jealous and violent they are. But if you can accept this, the film is breezy and entertaining.
