HER HUSBAND'S AFFAIRS
(Columbia) 4 SAW two Columbia comedies during the past week-one British and the other American. Of the two I found the British Columbia production (noticed above) much the more amusing. Her Husband’s Affairs, a crazy comedy at the expense of advertising agents and Big Business, is a good deal more crazy -and correspondingly less comic-than most of Hollywood’s eariier attempts in this genre. But in addition to carrying a creaking overload of farce, Her Husband’s Affairs is apparently also intended to be satirical. One is invited to believe that politicians, business men and publicity agénts are amiable but congenital lunatics--a Dangerous Thought surely, considering what politics, business and publicity have already done to the American way of life. In a show of this type, the question of | acting ability does not arise, but Lucille Ball emerges reasonably undamaged from the | melée-which is more than I can say for Franchot Tone.
