The Fixer Uppers
(1935)Greeting card salesmen help a customer who hopes to arouse the jealousy of her husband, a French artist who’s been neglecting her.

With dastardly, fire-and-brimstone Charles Middleton, ever-popular Mae Busch, and perpetually plastered Arthur Housman. He’d recently appeared in a superior Todd-Kelly short, DONE IN OIL, shot on the same apartment set, decorated with the same polar bear skin borrowed from Roach’s office and also the same painting of Patsy Kelly!
