Don't Touch Him, He Might Resent It

About This Movie

Don't Touch Him, He Might Resent It is an interesting blend of comedy and drama, steeped in a uniquely absurd atmosphere. The story unfolds in the lavish surroundings of the Atlantis Hotel, where a group of business associates find themselves in a tight spot, fearing the impending collapse of their shady dealings. The pacing keeps you engaged as the tension builds, influenced by Gogol's 'The Government Inspector,' which gives it a certain theatrical flair. Performances vary, with some actors really leaning into their comedic roles, while others seem a bit out of place. It's distinctive for its satirical take on bureaucracy and fraud, offering a glimpse into the paranoid psyche of its characters.

This film has a bit of a niche following, especially among collectors of TV movies from the 70s. Its rarity can make it a challenge to find in good condition, often only available in limited formats. Interest seems to have spiked among those who appreciate adaptations of classic literature, and the oddball charm of its premise keeps it somewhat relevant in collector circles.
