Henpecked Husband

1938 · 81 min

A gentle, talky old-fashioned romantic comedy where the laughs come from fussy manners and marital bickering rather than plot.

Overview
Nelly has as many as two suitors; the handsome but light-minded Miklós, - who even made a conquest of mother - and Gyula, the inhibited weakling yet with a secure income.
