Criminal Affair

About This Movie

Criminal Affair is one of those quirky comedies from the late '60s that oozes charm and a unique vibe. It follows this college professor who’s taking a sabbatical to write his book, but really, he gets caught up in plotting a crime instead. The atmosphere of Buenos Aires adds an exotic backdrop, and the pacing has a delightful rhythm that reflects the offbeat humor and intellect of its main character. The performances are quite engaging, bringing a mix of wit and absurdity to the narrative. It's not your run-of-the-mill caper; it has a certain charm that sets it apart from other comedies of that era.

Criminal Affair has a somewhat elusive presence in the collector's market. It was released primarily on VHS and has seen limited DVD visibility, making finding a good copy quite a treasure hunt. Many collectors appreciate its distinctive tone and the way it captures the quirks of the era, often leading to discussions about its unique cultural take on crime and comedy. Its scarcity adds a layer of intrigue, as it’s not often that you come across a film that combines intellectual themes with such a playful narrative.
