So, 'Come Now That My Husband Is Missing' is this quirky 1986 comedy that dives deep into the absurdity of corporate greed and infidelity. The central character, Xenophon, is a night watchman who finds himself in a truly precarious situation, risking life and limb to protect some incriminating factory books. It's loaded with this undercurrent of tension, balancing slapstick and clever dialogue. The pacing has a nice rhythm—just when you think it’s all about the fire, the plot twists into a web of secret affairs and backstabbing. The performances are spirited, especially the way the cast navigates their petty schemes. It's not just a comedy; it captures a certain cynical humor regarding the human condition and the ridiculousness of desperation. A real oddity in the genre, worth a look for its distinct flavor.
