Husbands Beware

1956 · 16 min

A frantic, silly slapstick scramble full of pratfalls and shouting that you can half-watch and still enjoy the chaos.

Tagline
Wildest and wackiest battle of the sexes yet!
Overview
To inherit a fortune, voice teacher Shemp must marry before six o'clock, but no girl will accept his proposal. Finally one of his repulsive students agrees to marry him, just in the nick of time. When the rest of the prospective brides hear about the inheritance, they show up at the ceremony and a free for all ensues. Shemp marries his student before the deadline, and then finds out that there is no inheritance. Moe and Larry have tricked him into marriage as revenge for their marrying his shrewish sisters.
How it feels
