About Smart Work
Billy Dooley is a suspicious husband who, as a private detective, takes a job from a woman who thinks her husband is running around with another woman. The latter is actually Billy's wife, who is buying a car from the man as a present for Billy. But Billy doesn't know that.
Directed by Roscoe Arbuckle, Smart Work leans on a strong ensemble — Billy Dooley, Addie McPhail — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1931.
