Fishhooks Horses Lead Screwball Parody of 1951 Divorces
A humorous tally of global divorce cases shows love gone sour. Notable instances include Mrs. Stanley H Langdon of Sydney divorcing over seeds of discord, Mrs. Lela Diepenbrock in Detroit faced a clash over horses, and Mrs. Jane Neally in Los Angeles endured a torrent of insults and pie throwing as marital strain rose. The piece stitches together anecdotes from Miami to Paris, Madison to Jersey City, each illustrating petty quarrels, cruelty, and odd grievances that ended marriages.
