Bedtime Story

About This Movie

So, 'Bedtime Story' is this quirky 1964 comedy that dances around the life of Benson, a charming rogue at heart. He's got this Casanova vibe, sweet-talking women into his web just to ditch them afterward. But then he crosses paths with Jamison, who raises the stakes by impersonating a prince and cleverly convinces the ladies to fund his faux-revolution. The film has this playful tone that flits between cheeky and absurd, with a pace that keeps you engaged, even if the concept feels a bit dated. The performances have this lightness, and there’s a certain charm in the practical effects that give it a nostalgic feel. It's a neat snapshot of its time, with an undercurrent of social commentary wrapped up in the humor.

This film has had a somewhat limited release historically, primarily available on VHS and DVD, which makes it a bit of a treasure for collectors. Its scarcity in good quality prints has increased interest over the years, especially among those who appreciate vintage comedies. Keep an eye out for any reissues or restorations, as they may garner more attention in collector circles.
