All the Way Up

About This Movie

All the Way Up is a quirky little comedy that captures the essence of early 70s humor, with a dash of absurdity throughout. Fred Midway, played with an endearing oblivion, is desperate to climb the corporate ladder despite his family’s, well, less-than-stellar social standing. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that only adds to its charm—you find yourself chuckling at the awkward situations Fred gets into. The practical effects are minimal, yet they serve the tone well, with a light-hearted atmosphere that feels like a time capsule of its era. It's the performances that really stand out, especially Fred’s naïve ambition clashing hilariously with his family's antics. Overall, it's a delightful oddity worth tracking down for any serious collector.

Finding All the Way Up on VHS or DVD is becoming increasingly difficult, as it didn’t see a wide release and has since slipped into obscurity. There are whispers among collectors about a few rare prints that surface at conventions or estate sales, but they don’t come around often. Its oddball charm and distinctively 70s vibe make it a curiosity for those who appreciate lesser-known comedies from that era. The film might not be a household name, but it certainly has its niche appeal and a slowly growing interest among collectors who enjoy hunting down these forgotten gems.
