Things We Can Do Without is a 1953 comedy short film from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. This entry in the Pete Smith Specialty series features Dave O'Brien showcasing modern household items and furniture that complicate daily life rather than simplify it.
This film has seen a few releases over the years, but it can be a bit elusive. Not a lot of prints floating around, and that makes it interesting for collectors. The blend of humor and social commentary has a niche appeal, but it's one of those films that can catch you off guard with its charm. Keep an eye out for it in vintage short film collections; it might just pop up when you least expect it.
