A playful early-cinema gag about marital disillusionment, built on the contrast between romantic fantasy and domestic reality.

Possibly the first film to utilize the technique of focus pulling. A man kisses a beautiful and lively woman, then the image blurs and dissolves into a clear image of the man waking up to his nagging wife.
