A Kiss and That's All

About This Movie

A Kiss and That's All offers a charming yet precarious look at romantic entanglements amidst the looming shadow of a divorce. The film plays out in a hotel setting, lending a certain intimacy to Anni's emotional turmoil and her whimsical meeting with Albert Sándor. The pacing is relaxed, allowing the comedy to breathe as they navigate the absurdity of their situation. What stands out is the nuanced performances, particularly in how they convey the tension between desire and obligation. The film captures a unique blend of levity and melancholy, making it an interesting study of post-war romantic dilemmas, which isn't often explored in comedies of the time.

A Kiss and That's All is a somewhat elusive title in collector circles, with limited availability across formats. Original prints seem to have dwindled, and its rarity adds a layer of intrigue for those interested in the subtleties of early 1940s comedies. The film’s offbeat charm and thematic depth might appeal to collectors who appreciate lesser-known works that capture the era's complexities, especially in how relationships evolve under societal pressures.
