Dear! Deer!

About This Movie

So, 'Dear! Deer!' is this quirky little comedy from '42, and it definitely has its own vibe. The plot revolves around Errol who spins a yarn about a deer hunting trip, but then he gets tangled in this amnesia twist, which adds a layer of absurdity. The performances are a bit whimsical, capturing that light-hearted essence typical of the era, and there's a certain charm in the way the practical effects are handled. You can feel that post-war comedic sensibility, where laughter becomes a coping mechanism. It’s a curious mix of confusion and comedy, keeping the pacing brisk enough to hold your attention without overstaying its welcome, making it an interesting watch for collectors who appreciate the oddball gems of the 40s.

This film has seen a bit of a niche following among collectors, especially because of its rarity in physical formats. Originally released in standard VHS, it's hard to find clean copies, which adds to its intrigue. As a film that often flies under the radar, it might not be on everyone’s list, but those who seek it out appreciate its oddball humor and unique approach to story. The scarcity and quirky nature make it a fun conversation piece for any classic comedy collection.
