Early Robert Benchley talkie catches the flavour of his comic monologues, but it's an antiquated kind of humour that barely raises a smile today.

Another creaky early short by Robert Benchley on a subject that obviously was on all of these women's mind. Too much time is dedicated to technical flaws of his buffoonish discussion, including the reference to the particular polyp for some reason named after Ethel Barrymore. This is just way beyond silly, using animation to try to demonstrate the mating life of these fictitious sea creatures which somehow become the opposite gender at some point in their life. Benchley adds class to the non-moving camera set up which is about as close to biology as a fish is to a bird in comparison. This one's worth skipping.
