"Git Along Little Wifie" is a short comedy from Educational Pictures which stars the real life married couple, Taylor Holmes and Natalie Morehead. While neither one is especially known for comedy, they give it their best in the movie released through Fox Films.
An ex-wife has brought her ex-husband to court because he's been missing his alimony payments. He pleads poverty but the judge isn't hearing any of that and so he plans on sending him to jail...she decides instead to move in with her ex and his new wife! That sure sounds like it's going to work out well!! As for her, the ex-wife's plan is to be so awful and such a nuisance that he'll find the money somewhere to pay her to leave. But her plan backfires and chaos ensues when he thinks he's accidentally poisoned her!
The acting is, at times, way over the top. Holmes, in particular, looks as if he's acting on stage...really overdoing it at times. I think he was supposed to do that...though it certainly isn't very enjoyable. However, the writing wasn't bad and it did end VERY well...so I do recommend you try it in spite of a few shortcomings.
By the way, this film was remade a few years later as "Alimony Aches" with Andy Clyde. I haven't seen it and am not sure if it's available anywhere. It certainly is not on YouTube, though "Git Along Little Wifie" is.
