Du skal ære din hustru (known in English as Thou Shalt Honor Thy Wife or Master of the House) is a silent comedy directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer that was released in 1925.
The story is that of a man who takes his wife for granted and does not appreciate the effort it takes to maintain a household. While his wife is resigned and browbeaten, his old nanny and wife's current friend is not and she orchestrates a plan that will force him to rethink his notions of being head of a household.
