Misbehaving Husbands

A low-budget comedy directed by William Beaudine for Crescent Pictures. A department store owner's wife suspects her husband of infidelity when a series of misunderstandings make him appear guilty. The plot involves mistaken identities, a jealous wife, and a series of comic complications as the husband tries to prove his innocence. Betty Compson, a former silent star who had transitioned to B-pictures, plays the wife. The film is a typical product of the "Poverty Row" studios of the 1940s—fast, cheap, and unpretentious. The film is in the public domain.
