豆知識

Misbehaving Husbands is a 1940 American comedy film directed by William Beaudine for Producers Releasing Corporation. The film had the working titles At Your Age and Dummy Husbands. Harry Langdon, Betty Blythe, Esther Muir, and others in the cast had been stars in silent films. It was Gig Young's film debut, under his real name Byron Barr.

Production and reception

Misbehaving Husbands was produced by Hollywood promoter Jed Buell on a very small budget. Buell was friendly with William Beaudine, who had been a top director until an ill-fated business trip to England resulted in depleted finances and fewer opportunities to work. Buell hired Beaudine, and Beaudine worked closely with Langdon in the staging of the comedy sequences.

The Langdon-Beaudine collaboration was very successful, and both the star and director received excellent notices. Langdon and Beaudine continued their respective careers in low-budget features, many for Monogram Pictures.
