Blind Folly, a 1939 comedy, dances between the absurd and the menacing, leaving you chuckling and a bit uneasy. Our protagonist unexpectedly inherits a nightclub, only to find himself neck-deep in a criminal underworld lurking behind the glitzy facade. The atmosphere is thick with tension but lightened by some clever gags and eccentric characters. The pacing has this curious ebb and flow—moments of frantic energy followed by stretches where the absurdity sinks in. It’s not just the plot; the performances really bring that unique blend of comedy and danger to life. Makes you appreciate how well they utilized practical effects without feeling forced. Definitely has its own quirky charm.
Blind Folly isn't exactly easy to find; it seems to have slipped through the cracks of time. There are a few formats out there, but most collectors are on the lookout for a decent print, given its unique blend of comedy and crime. The scarcity adds to its allure, and its blend of humor with darker themes in a nightclub setting makes it a curious piece for those who appreciate the oddities of late-30s cinema.
