This Oscar-winning "Pete Smith Specialty" short is basically an exercise in gastronomical short-hand, where a society matron – who is helpless in the kitchen – has her proficient but long-suffering cook quit on her right on the night of an important business dinner at home! Since the husband is obviously aware of her ineptitude, he prepares for the worst – but, actually, a professional steps in to save the day by preparing simple but still attractive and palatable dishes. The film is unassuming but reasonably amusing (especially in dealing with the woman's accident-prone nature, to which even the family dog falls victim!), engaging (one might say educational for anyone with a deep-seated culinary interest!) and quite pleasant-looking (being shot in early Technicolor).
