Don't Take God's Children for Wild Geese

About This Movie

Don't Take God's Children for Wild Geese (1968) is an oddball blend of comedy and crime that takes you on a wild ride through Rita's chaotic life. She's this femme fatale who uses her charm on gangsters, but her world of luxury comes crashing down when the cash flow dries up. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, which oddly adds to the charm. There’s a gritty atmosphere that runs underneath the humor, and Rita’s quest for vengeance has a certain rawness that’s hard to shake off. Performances are a mix of over-the-top and subdued, which lends a strange balance. It's this unique cocktail of dark humor and revenge that makes it stand out in the 60s genre landscape.

This film is often overlooked in the crime-comedy sphere, which adds to its allure for collectors. It originally saw limited theatrical release, leading to a scarcity of physical formats, making it a bit of a treasure hunt for those seeking it out. As interest in niche films from this era grows, it has piqued the curiosity of collectors who appreciate its distinctive style and the era's cinematic quirks.
