Eat, Drink And Make Merrie

About This Movie

Eat, Drink And Make Merrie has this really wild vibe, combining comedy with a bit of risqué charm. The story centers around Merrie, who's quite the seductress, the way she lures in the men at the boarding house is both cheeky and a tad outrageous. Then there's Renée, who undergoes a transformation that feels relatable and a bit poignant. Their dynamic is fascinating, with that sisterly rivalry keeping the energy alive. The pacing is steady, and while it's not a high-budget affair, there’s a kind of candidness to the performances that gives it a unique flavor. It’s a quirky exploration of sexuality and youth, with a party scene that encapsulates the chaotic spirit of the era. Definitely a film that stands out for its audacity and character work.

This film has had a somewhat limited release history, making original prints somewhat elusive for collectors. It's not always easy to find, which adds to its charm and desirability among those who appreciate offbeat comedies from this era. The peculiar blend of humor and sensuality, combined with the sisterly narrative, makes it a curious piece for anyone interested in the genre's evolution during the late '60s. The scarcity of quality viewing options has led to a slow but steady interest, especially as audiences seek out lesser-known gems.
