About This Movie

So, 'Accept a Telegram for Credit' (1979) is one of those quirky gems that kind of slips under the radar but has this interesting vibe. The story revolves around a young boy with a dream to build aircraft, which adds a nice touch of innocence and ambition. There's a real sense of adventure throughout, and you can feel the family-oriented themes woven in. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, but that just adds to its charm, doesn’t it? The practical effects are modest yet effective, really capturing that DIY spirit of the era. It's a film you might not hear much about, but it has this distinct flavor that makes it worth discussing among collectors.

This title isn’t exactly common, and finding it on physical media can be a bit of a challenge. It’s circulated on VHS but you’ll also come across some bootleg DVDs floating around. Collector interest seems to ebb and flow, but there’s a niche audience that appreciates its unique storytelling and its reflection of late 70s family cinema. If you spot a clean copy, it's worth considering for your collection.
