Bindle (One of Them Days)

About This Movie

Bindle (One of Them Days) is a quirky slice of 60s comedy that has its roots in Herbert Jenkins' playful novel. The film captures the chaos of an accident-prone furniture remover and his hapless mate, leading to a string of amusingly disastrous situations. The pacing is loose and allows for a kind of slapstick spontaneity that feels very much of its time, with performances that lean into the absurdity of everyday life. Practical effects are minimal, yet the charm lies in its simple, raw execution and the chemistry between the leads. It's a lighthearted romp that gives a nod to the struggles of working-class folk, making it feel relatable despite its comedic exaggerations.

Bindle has had a bit of a tumultuous journey in terms of availability; it’s one of those films that seem to pop up every now and then but can be elusive for collectors. There have been a few VHS and DVD releases, but the film isn’t exactly flooding the market, which adds to its intrigue. As the director remains unknown, it adds an air of mystery around this comedy, and collectors often discuss its distinct charm and the nostalgia it evokes for that era of British cinema.
