Behave Yourself

About This Movie

So, 'Behave Yourself' is this quirky little comedy from 1962 that takes a rather amusing approach to the often-stuffy world of manners, inspired by Emily Post’s guidelines. The tone is light and a bit satirical, which gives it a unique charm. It’s not just about laughing at the absurdities of social etiquette; it manages to infuse a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged with its playful antics and clever scenarios. The performances are spirited, with an undeniable chemistry among the cast that really carries the film. What makes it distinctive is how it combines humor with genuine tips on social decorum, which feels both absurd and oddly relevant.

This film has a bit of a niche appeal among collectors, mainly because it’s not widely available on modern media formats. There have been a few VHS releases, but finding it on DVD or Blu-ray can be a challenge, which spikes its interest. The scarcity adds to the allure for those who appreciate quirky comedies from this era. It’s the kind of title that sparks conversations among collectors about its unique take on social norms and its place in the comedy genre of the early 60s.
