The Smart Way(1937)

The Smart Way is a comedy about Professor Pierre Ginsberg, a man caught between marital discord and questionable legal advice. When his lawyer suggests he exhaust his demanding wife through relentless entertainment and dancing, Ginsberg embarks on a month-long campaign of constant amusement. The plan backfires spectacularly. Instead of wearing her down, the endless festivities threaten to exhaust Ginsberg himself, pushing him toward collapse. Along the way, he delivers a musical performance in the vaudeville style of Willie Howard. This silent-era farce plays the premise for maximum laughs, turning a husband's desperate attempt at reconciliation into physical comedy and absurdist chaos.
