I Love My Mother-in-Law, But! (1948)
*** (out of 4)
A husband (Dave O'Brien) wants to like his mother-in-law but she makes that impossible as she is constantly spying on his, getting into the middle of fights with his wife and also putting false things into the wife's head. This here was the third and final part of the trilogy that also included I LOVE MY HUSBAND, BUT! and I LOVE MY WIFE, BUT. Having seen all three I can say that each of them is a winner and they prove how funny O'Brien could be not only in the acting department but also his writing. His name probably doesn't ring too many bells today but show people his shorts and I'm sure they'll enjoy them. He does a very good job here acting out all the "drama" brought on by the mother-in-law and Pete Smith does his typical good narration. All of the scenes are pretty good with one dealing with a hanging picture stealing the film. Anne O'Neal is good as the mommy-in-law.
