Our Wife (1941)
Perhaps the key moment of this instructive tale . . .
18 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
. . . comes when elephantine bride Dull-Sea shows her dad a picture of her fiance Ollie for the first time on the morning of her wedding. "No, No--I say emphatically, a thousand times NO!" Pops immediately thunders, locking up the family hippo in her room. As it turns out, Ollie is just slightly less rotund than his intended. Being geometrically minded, the iceberg's father swiftly realizes that there will be no plausible way to consummate such a union. As documented later on in OUR WIFE, the ill-matched pair cannot even fit in the same vehicle together. Even preschoolers will know that the only possible solution to such a marital predicament is to follow the example of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sprat, and splice thick hamburgers only to lean hot dogs.
