Dated but Fun

Domineering Male, The (1940)

*** (out of 4)

Dated but funny short from Pete Smith tries to put to rest the notion that men are always the ones chasing women. This time out we meet a young woman who decides to try and "catch" her a good one but she does so by changing who she really is. In other words, she likes to drink and smoke but she puts these habits to the side to make it appear she's more of an angel. Will the guy fall for it? The dating topics in this film are certainly dated compared to today but that really doesn't take away from any of the charm. There are many funny moments throughout the film including a nice sequence where the woman's fake out is out in the open and she tries to keep the guy from seeing it. The performances are all pretty good even though they don't get to speak and special attention should be paid to Ferris Taylor who plays the girl's father.
