Birds of Paradise from '81 presents an interesting mix of comedy with a hint of absurdity. The story unfolds as a widow, charmingly naive, finds herself tangled in a rather unexpected investment. The pacing is a bit uneven, which adds to its quirky charm, allowing the humor to breathe in unexpected ways. The performances are pretty decent; the lead carries an appealing innocence that clashes with the outrageous premise. There's this playful atmosphere throughout, complemented by practical effects that keep it grounded. Not often talked about, but it definitely has a certain distinctive flair that sets it apart from typical comedies of the time. The themes of misguided intentions and the clash of expectations versus reality resonate well, making it a curious watch.
