12 is a dozen

About This Movie

So, '12 is a Dozen' is this intriguing TV movie from '74 that weaves together three seemingly disparate tales, all circling around the number 12. There's a postman who finds himself entangled in a peculiar delivery, a taxi driver who's got his own story linked to the number, and a photo developer whose life unfolds in unexpected ways. The pacing is leisurely, letting each narrative breathe, which gives it a unique rhythm. It's not flashy with special effects, but rather relies on grounded performances and an atmospheric approach that feels distinctly of its time. The themes of fate and coincidence give it a reflective quality, making it a curious piece to examine within the context of 70s television.

This film has a bit of a niche appeal, primarily because it’s a TV movie that hasn't seen a wide release on physical formats. There are some early VHS copies floating around, but they’re not easy to come by, which adds to its allure for collectors. It’s interesting to see how the themes and narrative structure reflect the storytelling style of the 70s, making it a conversation starter among those who appreciate the era’s television landscape.
