Nick M 09/05/2024 Directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring a young Gloria Swanson, this light romantic dramedy is enjoyable, but forgettable. We're supposed to learn along with our leading man and woman what is really important in a marriage and how to keep our partners happy, but it doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. That is not a bad thing, because it leaves room for elements outside of the main plot to shine. Alas, nothing really fills the void. The character development of the husband isn't very believable, and the best thing I can say about the picture is that the costumes were fabulous. Swanson is not yet "Swanson", but one can see the fire about to catch around her eyes. The lesson this film seems to want to impart is that, when it comes to marriage, better the devil you know. We are left with this tongue-in-cheek summation at the end: "And now you know what every Woman comes to know--that Husbands, at best, are pesky brutes; and at worst--are unfit for publication!"

He eats onions before kissing her and he forgets their anniversary. She lets herself be seduced by a younger man and when they marry, she falls from the frying pan into the fire. A rare comedy of manners and mores (with a sprinkle of spectacle thrown in) from early Cecil B. DeMille in DON'T CHANGE YOUR HUSBAND. See more 08/28/2010 A pretty silly, but generally entertaining movie, I found this more interesting because of the sets, styles, and behaviors. Swanson is very charming. And the film doesn't outstay its welcome. See more 12/01/2009 that's true,, so dont let them change either See more Read all reviews
