Things We Can Do Without (Short 1953). 9m | Approved

“Another in a series of Pete Smith Specialties that has the energetic DAVE Ou0026#39;BRIEN demonstrating how not to deal with the inconveniences of modern conveniences, such as armless chairs, trays that come out from the wall, and desk drawers that are supposed to slide open at the magic touch.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eActually, I expected more when I saw the title THINGS WE CAN DO WITHOUT but this short flies by swiftly with one sight gag after another, each time providing a chuckle to watch how skillfully Ou0026#39;Brien handles all the falls. One mishap has him even punching a hole in the wall when his chair rapidly goes backward as he tugs at a drawer.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAmusing stuff–not one of the best of the series but fun to watch.”
