Wife Tames Wolf is a curious piece from 1947, blending comedy with a peculiar sense of timing that feels almost erratic at times. You’ve got Leon, a character so hopelessly caught in his ways, played with a level of charm that somehow keeps the viewer engaged despite his relentless infidelity. Dorothy Granger nails the frustrated wife role, and there’s a certain humor in her grand declarations of divorce that feels almost theatrical. The pacing has that classic 40s rhythm, but some moments linger just a beat too long. It's not groundbreaking, but there’s an undeniable charm in how it tackles themes of fidelity and redemption, wrapped up in an eccentric world where practical effects occasionally surprise you. Quite the oddball in a collector's lineup, for sure.
This film has had a modest release history, primarily available on VHS and a few DVD compilations, which adds to its scarcity. It’s not something you stumble upon every day, so collectors who appreciate vintage comedies with a twist often seek it out. Interest tends to spike among those who appreciate the more offbeat titles from the era, providing a nice conversation starter when discussing post-war cinema.
