A Model Husband is an interesting little comedy from 1916 that plays with the idea of appearances versus reality. Mr. Cherub, our so-called model husband, is a charming character who everyone admires, yet behind closed doors, he’s anything but faithful. The film has this light, breezy tone that makes it enjoyable, but it also dives into themes of hypocrisy in marriage. The pacing varies, sometimes lingering on comedic moments, which adds to its charm. The performances are quite engaging, with Myers capturing that silent film essence well. There's a simplicity in its practical effects and staging that feels authentic and offers a glimpse into that era's storytelling. It’s not groundbreaking, but there's a certain warmth to it that makes it worth watching.
